Hi John,<br>
<br>
For this I created a table (but you could also use a list of
objects) with all of the public holidays and the associated rules.
Then I simply scan through the list, calculate when the public
holiday is, and compare it to the date range in question.<br>
<br>
The rules included things like "nth day of week" (eg. First Monday
in June is Queen's Birthday), specific day/month adjusted for
weekends (eg. 25/12, 26/12, 01/01, 02/01, 06/02, 25/04), and
specific day of month adjusted to the closest of a given day of the
week (eg. Auckland Anniversary - which is the closest Monday to 29
January, which isn't necessarily the last Monday in January).<br>
<br>
Easter was the tricky one, but I found a reliable function on the
internet for determining which day Easter Sunday is, then you just
need to adjust for Good Friday and Easter Monday.<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope that helps!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Bevan<br>
