Hard code _any_ past Friday as a constant in the D-specs. Say, January 5, 2001, for example? Then remove all the complete weeks between Jan 5, 2001 and your target date. (Weeks are always 7 days long, so by removing the whole weeks(dividing by 7), you have only the part week left, That would be the remainder.) That remainder is your offset.
Don't make this too hard. It really is that simple. lol I had trouble keeping it simple enough when it was first explained to me

Today (Wednesday, 11/12/2008) minus last Friday (11/7/2008) is 5 days. Divide by 7 is 0 weeks & 5 days. (Days-in-a-week(7) - Offset(5) = (Days-until-Friday(2). Today(11/12/2008), plus 2 days is next Friday(11/14/2008).

My question is, how does the program know when the next Friday is?
