Date of next Sunday

Hi all.. I have a need to copy a file from a folder that is named \MONTH DAY\text.docx.
The folder name is based on the date of next Sunday. The task is scheduled 5 days before the actual Sunday.
For most Sundays, I can use the {MonthName} variable for the first part. And a local variable based on a VB Evaluate of {Day}+(8-{DayOfWeekNo})
However, there will be some times when the Sunday might be in the next month..
Can you suggest the simplest way to create this?
Thanks for your advice..
Rob

I tried using {MonthIncDays(+(8-{DayOfWeekNo}))} but get a type mismatch.
