Your logic is wrong!

VB

If iDay < 6 Then

Check this:

VB

If iDay <> 6 Then

For further details, please see: Weekday Function (Visual Basic)[^]

I'd change your code to:

VB

For aDay = Date1 To Date2
    If WeekDay(aDay) <> 6 Then
        iDays = iDays + 1
    End If
Next aDay

Where aDay variable is type of Date and iDays is type of Integer.
