help!

Dear all,

Many thanks for the recent posts on calculating time differences, but im still having problems with this.

I have two fields inside a recordset which are type text, they have captured the time using the 'time' function. The field therefore looks something like this 3:09:31 PM.

The fields are used for capturing login and logout times.
First field 3:09:31 PM
Second 3:15:16 PM

Now i don't need to work out date differences, only times. But i obviously want to return something like 6 mins so many seconds, instead of xxxx seconds. Can someone pls point me in the right direction.

Many thanks for all your help.

You coudl use the CDate Function to convert the Strings to Date/Time Variables, then Subtract One from the Other, eg.

private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sTimeDiff as string
sTimeDiff = Format(CDate("3:15:16 PM") - CDate("3:09:31 PM"), "NN:SS")
End Sub



In this case sTimeDiff Would Contain "05:45", (5 Mins, 45 Secs).
