IsLastBusinessDayOfMonth() Function
One of our Access applications integrates with a reporting system that releases certain reports on the last business day of each month. Thus, I wrote the not-so-cleverly named IsLastBusinessDayOfMonth() function to test that condition.
For most purposes, a business day is any day except a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday. This function builds off of previous functions that take each of those exceptions into consideration. Those other functions are IsBusinessDay(), IsEndOfMonth(), and MonthEnd().
Note that the unusual '>>>
comment syntax in the code below is used to create Python-inspired doc tests, which both verify the correctness of the function and document its usage.
