Hi, all:

I would like some advice on how to script a find for all records which 
were created after the 1st Wednesday of the current month.

Of course, this group should not include any records created before the 
most recent 1st Wednesday.

TIA for any assistance,

Scott

Date(
Month(d_Date1)  , 1 , Year(d_Date1)
) +

Choose(
DayofWeek(
Date(
Month(d_Date1)  , 1 , Year(d_Date1)
)
)-1,
3,2,1,0,6,5,4
)

....should return the first Wednesday of a date field 'd_Date1'. The logic is
to add a calculated numeric value to the first day of the month; that
calculation looks at the value for DayofWeek() of that first day, and, using
Choose(),  adds zero if the day is a Wednesday, 6 for Thursday, and so on.
The '-1' is because Choose() acts like an array, starting at 0, not 1.

You can replace 'd_Date1' with Status(CurrentDate), but remember to leave
the calc unstored. You should be able to use some variation of those calcs
to find dates coming after that first Wednesday.

Another way...

Enter Find Mode []
Set Field [CreationDate, ">" & DateToText( Status( CurrentDate) - Day(
Status( CurrentDate)) + 1 - (DayofWeek( Status( CurrentDate) - Day(
Status( CurrentDate)) + 1)) + 4 + (7 * (DayofWeek( Status( CurrentDate) -
Day( Status( CurrentDate)) + 1) > 4)))]
Perform Find []

Not Set Field, I meant Paste Result (or Insert Calculated Result)...sorry.
