Guess I could add a .weeks attribute to mxDateTime, but no one ever asked for that so far.

Given that there are at least 3 different ways to define the number of "weeks" between two dates, it may be something best left to applications to worry about.

OOo implements 2 of them [1] for its WEEKS() function, and there's then a fairly obvious 3rd variant based on a Sunday to Saturday week.

Cheers, Nick.
