How do I find the date of this Saturday?

I'm a programming neophyte so needless to say I need some help on some
VB scripting.
I need to create some code to find what month it will be this coming
Saturday. I also need to do the same for the week # of the month this
Saturday. And finally, the Year of the month this Saturday.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks

You can calculate Saturday's date this way

SaturdaysDate = DateAdd("d", vbSaturday - Weekday(Date), Date)

Then use VB's Month and Year functions to get the month and year for
that date. To get the week number, you will need to use VB's DatePart
function. You can look these up in the help files to get more
information on them.

According to the Safari browser the world began on "Fri Dec 13 1901 15:45:52 GMT-0500", but I need to be able to get around this limitation.

I can label these early year "types" as a number between 0 and 13.

I have to do an events calender for a church. The events display will be limited to that week. If someone went in today Wed 24th I want to display 21st to 27th. I dont want any code samples, just the functions that find the day of week and a function that can (in this case) subtract 3 days to get sunday and add 7 for saterday. I can do the rest. Desmond.
