The VB.Net language does have a Today property (note the Language="VB" in
the original post, not Language="VBScript").

Aha! Thanks Michael. Still resisting the foray into .NET so didn't realise.
:)) So the question still stands...

Re: Help ma boab - ah jist canny dae it.
Didn't realise myself either as I have thankfully thus far, managed to stop
myself so much as contemplating going to .Net (would rather be castrated ...
:o\).
As to what actually causes the differential, I'm not quite sure to be
honest. "Today" is not a valid function, property or method in VBScript
(TMK), so I would have actually expected it to throw up a TypeMismatch or
Undefined Var ... error, rather than going through and trying to figure it
out itself (if it helps any, it actually *does* throw up an undefined var
error if you are using Option Explicit).

Re: Help ma boab - ah jist canny dae it.
Part of the problem is that you are asking a VB.Net question in a vbscript
newsgroup. The VB.Net newsgroups will have either "dotnet", "vbnet", or both
in their names.
Your answer probably has to do with the FirstDayOfWeek property in your
server's regional settings. The WeekDay function uses FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday
as the default. The WeekDayName function uses FirstDayOfWeek.System as the
default. When those two are out of sync, confusion results
Take control of it in your calls to WeekDay() and WeekdayName():
<%=WeekDayName(Weekday(Today,FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday),FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday)%>
