OK there are a couple of code help I need here.

1. I want to add say 45 days to the current date.
2. I then want to know, what is the next Friday for #1.

this will be going into 2009, as much as 180 days out.

By figuring out what day of the week today is, then adding the
difference between today and Friday.

If you don't want to use SQL, you could implement one of the day of week
algorithms* for the Gregorian calendar.

HTH,
