Does anyone have a script that calculates a date (say 45 days from an Court's Order) that pushes the date forward to the next
business
day (i.e., where the end date falls either on a weekend
or
a holiday)? The holiday may be either fixed ones (like December 25 or January 1) or a floating holiday (like Thanksgiving or Memorial Day).
I am using HotDocs 2007 Professional.
Thanks!

David,
This can get a little tricky, but you should be able to do it. To first calculate the date for 45 days from the input date (calling the input date InputDate and the court date CourtDate, then on the CourtDate calculation):
InputDate + 45 Days
To find out if the date in question is on a weekend, you could use the following script:
IF DAY OF WEEK( CourtDate ) = 7
CourtDate + 2 DAYS
ELSE IF DAY OF WEEK( CourtDate ) = 1
CourtDate + 1 DAYS
ELSE
CourtDate
END IF
I hope this helps!

Also, in the HotDocs KnowledgeBase (

), see Item # 504 ("Determine Dates for Holidays").
