<div>
The reason checking for &quot;Monday&quot; or &quot;Tuesday&quot; always fails is because Today() does not return the name of the day, it returns a date in the format &quot;2011-03-14&quot;.<br />
<br />
There is no easy way to get the day name, but you can do it with code. See this link for an example of how this is done:<br />
