DateValue

Required. Date value for which you want to determine the day of the week.

DayOfWeek

Optional. A value chosen from the FirstDayOfWeek enumeration that specifies the first day of the week. If not specified, FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday is used.

The DayOfWeek argument can have one of the following settings.

See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.

The value returned by the Weekday function is the day of the week that the DateValue corresponds to, relative to the first day of the week defined by the DayOfWeek value. For example, if the date refers to a Wednesday and the first day of the week is specified as Monday, the function returns 3.

Note:
Weekday uses the current calendar setting from the CurrentCulture property of the CultureInfo class in the System.Globalization namespace. The default CurrentCulture values are determined by Control Panel settings.

The following example uses the Weekday function to obtain the day of the week from a specified date.

Dim oldDate As Date
Dim oldWeekDay As Integer
oldDate = #2/12/1969#
oldWeekDay = Weekday(oldDate)
' oldWeekDay now contains 4 because thisDate represents a Wednesday.
