interpreted = N
texte = Thanks, this is the right definition. I finally figured this out. This is based off of 00/06/0000 is a friday. so in: [FORMAT days_to_date][MATH]{[DATE]} + (6 - {[DATE]}%7)[/MATH][/FORMAT] first you take the date mod 7. this gives you a remainder 1-6. If you subtract this from friday or 6 it gives you the days to next friday.However, this might not be a soluiton for the original poster if he wanted the following friday always because if it happens to be friday, it will give you that same days result.(I don't really hate chris :-)DonovanP.S., I still don't know exactly why this works because I don't know how one ends up with the days till friday.
