how would you use that as the criteria?
Are you talking about a critieria in a query?
SELECT * FROM yourTable
WHERE [DateField] >= (
SELECT Max(DateSerial(Year(Date()
FROM qry_Numbers
WHERE (Weekday(DateSerial(Year(D
AND (qry_Numbers.lngNumber Between 1 And 31)
)

WHERE (Weekday(DateSerial(Year(D
AND (qry_Numbers.lngNumber Between 1 And 31)
)
I've attached a database full of date functions. Look at the second tab to see this one in action.
Here is a function that will do it:
Pass in November 1st and a 2 for Monday
Here is a function that will do it:
Pass in November 1st and a 2 for Monday
Function fDateDayPrevious(dtmDate As Date, bytDaySought As Byte) As Date
' Function to return the date of the named day previous to the passed date
' Accepts:bytDaySought (e.g.: vbSunday)
' dtmDate as date
If bytDaySought - WeekDay(dtmDate) <= 0 Then
fDateDayPrevious = dtmDate + bytDaySought - WeekDay(dtmDate)
Else
fDateDayPrevious = dtmDate + bytDaySought - WeekDay(dtmDate) - 7
End If
End Function

You can use this generic function for finding a weekday of a month:
>= DateWeekdayInMonth(DateSer
or in a query:
>=DateWeekdayInMonth(DateS

' Calculates the date of the occurrence of Weekday in the month of DateInMonth.
'
' If Occurrence is 0 or negative, the first occurrence of Weekday in the month is assumed.
' If Occurrence is 5 or larger, the last occurrence of Weekday in the month is assumed.
'
' If Weekday is invalid or not specified, the weekday of DateInMonth is used.

Have something similar, which checks if the date is the last monday of the month using T-SQL.
The following select will return 1 if the current date is the last monday of the month, and 0 if not
select
case
when datepart(dw, GETDATE()) = 2 and DATEPART(month, DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE())) <> DATEPART(month, GETDATE())
then 1
else 0
end
---
datepart(dw, GETDATE()) returns the day of the week. Monday is 2. The second part adds 7 days to the current date and checks that within 7 days the month has changed (if it does not, it is not the last monday). Change the GETDATE()'s to any date you want to check.
The following select will return 1 if the current date is the last monday of the month, and 0 if not
select
case
when datepart(dw, GETDATE()) = 2 and DATEPART(month, DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE())) <> DATEPART(month, GETDATE())
then 1
else 0
end
---
datepart(dw, GETDATE()) returns the day of the week. Monday is 2. The second part adds 7 days to the current date and checks that within 7 days the month has changed (if it does not, it is not the last monday). Change the GETDATE()'s to any date you want to check.
You can also try to make it into a generic function and use it with any date you like:
CREATE FUNCTION
IsLastMondayOfMonth(@dateT
RETURNS bit
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@result bit
SELECT @result =
CASE
WHEN datepart(dw, @dateToCheck) = 2 AND DATEPART(month, DATEADD(day, 7, @dateToCheck)) <> DATEPART(month, @dateToCheck)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
RETURN @result
END

SELECT @result =
CASE
WHEN datepart(dw, @dateToCheck) = 2 AND DATEPART(month, DATEADD(day, 7, @dateToCheck)) <> DATEPART(month, @dateToCheck)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
RETURN @result
END

This is exactly what I was looking for, Thank you.
SELECT Max(DateSerial(Year(Date()
FROM qry_Numbers
WHERE (Weekday(DateSerial(Year(D
AND (qry_Numbers.lngNumber Between 1 And 31);
