' Running test again over a smaller interval using the following test line:'  nDays = BusinessDateDiff(#1/1/2002#, #1/10/2002#, True)' produced these results:' Old BusinessDateDiff="Test Complete: 10880 milliseconds"' New BusinessDateDiff="Test Complete: 192 milliseconds"' ==> This test shows that the new routine is 57 times faster even when the ' loop count is small.
