I'm trying to write a script that will return the last business day's 
date in mmddyy format.
Does anybody know of an easy way to do this.
Im having trouble accounting for Monday's are easy, I just subtract 3 
and get friday's date, but Im having trouble with the beginning of the 
month being that all months don't have the same amount of days.  any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom
