I'm trying to generate a dynamic report showing default allocations for resources (in this case, Justices). The user has the option of choosing a report period of:

In any scenario, for example, "July - August", I need to start reporting from the first Monday's date in July, to the last Friday's date in August, with each cell in the report being one Mon - Fri week.

I have the stored procedure to fetch the data I need, I can populate the list of justices I need, but I CAN'T figure out an algorithm for getting the set of dates such that if the first day in July was a Thursday the breakdown would be:

     Thu 1 - Fri 2, Mon 5 - Fri 9, Mon 12 - Fri 16, etc.

Or if the first day was a Tuesday:

     Tue 1 - Fri 4, Mon 7 - Fri 11, Mon 14 - Fri 18, etc.

These dates are the headings above each cell of the report.

Any ideas?
