DateDiff That Only Counts Working Days

Hi! I'm trying to create a query to calculate the number of days between two dates, but I only want to include working days. Is there a way to do this?Most DBAs work seven days a week, weekends and holidays included ;). The provided DateDiff works fine for us!

On a (very slightly) more serious note, what constitutes a "working day" by your definition?

-PatP|||LOL, I definitely realize what days DBAs work... :)

Working days are just the typical Monday through Friday.|||Vacations? Holidays? Snow days? Office closed due to threat of terrorist attack? Those all affect "working days". Or did you mean to ask "I'm trying to create a query to calculate the number of weekdays between two dates, excluding weekends."?|||Would you include Holidays as work days?

IF not I would suggest you have a table calendar with field workday
values 1 , 0

sum the workday field to get your answer.|||Yes, this is what I'm trying to say:
