http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum/calendar_week.asp?M=4&Y=2014&W=4 - http://find-relation.dk/wiz/forum/calendar_week.asp?M=4&Y=2014&W=4 is an excample of the Calendar showing tennis tournaments next week (Month 4, Year 2014, Week 4).

In Denmark - and probably other contries too - the week starts monday.
I suggest, that it will be possible to choose start of week in the configuration of Date and Time Setting.

In that case, the example above would not be "disturbed" by tournaments ending sunday.
In most tennis tournaments the main Draw starts monday and the finale is saturday or sunday.

Regards Ole Dalsgaard Jensen

This is to do with the way Classic ASP works rather than it being a design choice for Web Wiz Forums.

In European countries including here in the UK Monday is considered the first day of the week. I believe it is to do with the Christian region the 7th day of the week, Sunday, is the sabbath making the first day of the week Monday.

The Christians that founded the US decided that the first day of the week should be Sunday. As Microsoft is a US company they used Sunday as the first day of the week for Classic ASP.

Unfortunately there is not much that can be done about this as even changing the locale settings in Classic ASP Sunday in Classic ASP is still the first day of the week and not Monday.
