Can anyone tell me if this is possible.
I have populated a drop down list bor with all the saturdays over a short
period
of time like this.
<SELECT Name="SelectedWeek">
<Option Value="49">06 December 2003</Option>
<Option Value="50">13 December 2003</Option>

When I submit the page I can retreve the Value 49 or 50 etc.

I need to either retreve the full date i.e. 06 December 2003 or
A function that can turn the value back from 49 to the full date.

Is there a way around this problem please.

What William said is probably what you want, but if you do need to turn
back 49 into the date, which server-side scripting language are you using?

Say you want to find out the beginning of week 49.

Step 0. n is 49.

n = 49

Step 1. Take the beginning of the year.

y = Format(Now(), "yyyy")
beginningOfYearString = "1/1/" & y & "00:00:00"

Step 2. Turn this from a String into a Date.

beginningOfYearDate = CDate(beginningOfYearString)

Step 3. Add on 49 Weeks. Depending on what you count as "week 1",
you may want to change 'n' to 'n+1' or 'n-1' or something.

wantedDate = beginningOfYearDate.AddDays(7 * (n))

Step 4. Go forward to the Saturday.

While Weekday(wantedDate)
wantedDate.AddDays(1)
Wend

I think that should do what you want, but my VisualBASIC is a little rusty.
