Here is a quick way to do it in VB

Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()

    'Insert today's Date in the textbox
    Text1.Text = Date
    
End Sub

Private Sub cmdDay_Click()

    Dim daynum As Integer, sweekday As String
    
    'Figure out the day
    daynum = DatePart("w", Text1.Text)
    
    Select Case (daynum)
        Case 1
            sweekday = "Sunday"
        Case 2
            sweekday = "Monday"
        Case 3
            sweekday = "Tuesday"
        Case 4
            sweekday = "Wednesday"
        Case 5
            sweekday = "Thursday"
        Case 6
            sweekday = "Friday"
        Case 7
            sweekday = "Saturday"
        Case Else
            sweekday = "unknown"
    End Select
    
    Text2.Text = sweekday
    
End Sub

In ASP there's a function called WeekdayName() - so chances are you'll have it in VB too.

WeekdayName(weekday, abbreviate, firstdayofweek) - where "weekday" is an int, abbreviate is a boolean (yes/no), and firstdayofweek defines the starting day of the week (Sunday is the default)

Thanks Stumpy:
That simplifies the code a lot:

Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()

    'Insert today's Date in the textbox
    Text1.Text = Date
    
End Sub

Private Sub cmdDay_Click()
    
    Text2.Text = WeekdayName(DatePart("w", Text1.Text), False)
    
End Sub
