Excluding weekend dates from calculated data pull



I have a business need to display some date specific data to a selcect group
of users 3 bussiness days before everyone else is allowed to see it.

THere are many fields I will be displaying across many tables. The date I am
using is ONLY in the primary table (meaning I don't have to include or
exclude data based on a date match from the other tables).

What I need to know is if there is a way in the SQL Query to not count the
weekend days as part of the 3 bussiness days. My query right now uses "WHERE
datafield < (GetDate + 5)". But this lets the users see data for the week's
Friday on the week's Monday. Not acceptable. If I only use "WHERE datafield <
(GetDate + 3) Then data to been displayed on This week's Tuesday can not be
seen on the previous Friday. Also Not Acceptable.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
