Marking the 3rd Friday is easy with %%(diary-float t 5 3) I've also shamelessly copied the code for figuring out paydays based on the working day on or before the desired date. This one is stumping me, if I could figure out a date for it then I would be fine. I just don't know how to do it based on the 3rd Friday. All help is appreciated and I will continue to pay the community back by giving emacs support and evangelism in my work place and beyond. ; ) cheers, Bruce
