Looking ahead is part of most projects. Whether you’re scheduling downtime or a special event, knowing the date of the next Saturday can come in handy. In that case, the following VBA function procedure should help:

Public Function FindNextSaturday(dte As Date) As Date
  'Return the first Saturday following dte
   FindNextSaturday = dte + (7 - Weekday(dte))
End Function

Simply pass a date to the function — but be sure to delimit it properly using the # character as follows:

#09/30/09#

The dte + (7 – Weekday(dte)) component adds the number of days between the passed date and the next Saturday to the current date — the result being the next Saturday. This function should work in any application that supports VBA.
