Start week on Monday Query

Question

Hi, I have two repeat regions. one that displays listings
based on a
datestamp for the current week. I'm using Access and ASP VB
Script. The SQL
for that is:
SELECT * FROM sellerlistqry WHERE
DatePart('ww',Sellerlistdate) =
DatePart('ww', now())
The other repeat region displays listing for the previous
week. the sql for
that is:
SELECT * FROM sellerlistqry WHERE
DatePart('ww',Sellerlistdate) =
DatePart('ww', DATEADD('ww', -1, now()))
This all works fine, but the week is Beginning on Sunday and
I need it to
begin on Monday, so new listings that come in on Sunday are
moved to the
previous listings by Monday.
How can I alter my query to Force the Week to Begin on Monday
and End at the
end of Sunday?
Thanks.

The jewish calendar does not have names for the days of the week. The week ends with the holy Sabbath (Saturday) and therefore the Sunday is the first days after Sabbath (Yom Rishon), the Monday the second day after Sabbath (Yom Sheini), etc.
The Christians believe that Christ was raised on the first days of the week (Mathew 28:1, et al) AFTER the Sabbath was over. So their holy day is the Sunday and the working week starts on a Monday.
The business days in the western world are numbered starting with the Monday as day number 1 (Timetables of Airlines, Calendars, even Microsoft Windows...).
Unfortunately in the United States religious freedom extends to a level which is not understood easily by the rest of the world. Since the MAC OS X allows to change the first day from a Sunday to a Monday, one might wonder why Apple decided to give the iPhone a jewish touch.
It could be supposed that this is the way of the least resistance. Only few complain about this issue, but if it were the other way around a lot of people would complain...
PS: I agree with the others here: It is very, very annoying and more than once I entered an appointment into the wrong day...;-)
