Howdy. I'm just look for a slick way of using dateitems (or something?) to do something like this:
Put x business days prior to the 3rd Wednesday of thismonth
Thanks, I'm having a hard time with this.

So much fun. But you can do this. If you want to use dateItems, and there is nothing wrong with that, think about this handler:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "3/31/2015" into tDate
convert tDate to dateItems
repeat until item 7 of tDate = 4
subtract 1 from item 3 of tDate
convert tDate to dateItems
end repeat
answer "Well, the last Wednesday is" && tDate
end mouseUp
Put a breakpoint in the "subtract" line of the repeat loop, and step through. Now what is the next step?
