Hi Jim,

Simply bookmark the date (not the cell!) in column B, then use a ref field
in Column C to extract the date. For example:
If the date in B1 is August 12, 2005, and you bookmark this as 'B1Date',
then you'd use a REF field in C1 coded as:
{REF B1Date \@ dddd}. This should return 'Friday', not 'Monday' as indicated
in your post ...

Cheers
PS: The field braces (i.e. '{}') are created in pairs via Ctrl-F9.
Alternatively, you can create the REF field via Insert|Field.
