I have a similar requirement to know the last Saturday and Sunday of the month. This is how I do it.

LastSat = createdate(year(now()),month(now()),daysinmonth(now()));
LastSun = LastSat;

while (DayofWeek(LastSat) is not 7)
LastSat = DateAdd("d", -1, LastSat);

while (DayofWeek(LastSun) is not 1)
LastSun = DateAdd("d", -1, LastSun);

You might try this UDF.
