If Visual Basic has the DatePart routine, and if
W = DatePart("ww", CDate("Dec 29 2003"), vbMonday, vbFirstFourDays)
gives 53 (as it does in my Web and WSH VBscript), then the Visual Basic
version also has the bug. I expect they share a DLL. The error that I
see recurs three times per 28 years, and another occurs once in every
400 years. See in <http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/vb-date2.htm#DP>, and
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/20ee97hz%28VS.80%29.aspx>, and
ISO 8601.
RSVP, here.
