:-) Yes, the calendar_begin_date is 8/10/2010 and the calendar_end_date is 8/31/2024.

I was just thinking that, since the regular hours really do not change, I could just put them in the script as a hash--as you have done--and then grab the exception hours each night and somehow sort them through the regular hours to see where each exception would fit. (?) That way, if the regular hours change, all I need to do is change them in the script.

So, if an exception, then exception hours. If no exception, then regular hours....

Thanks for helping me think this through.
