[AccessD] Best Practices: Recording Hours and Minutes

Hi:

I'm trying to figure out the best ways to record hours and minutes
(application tracks downtime of various equipment and time spent on
maintenance), and am wondering how others do this.

I'm currently using a decimal field to record the hours and minutes (EX:
1.25 is 1 hour, 15 minutes), but am wondering if I should do this
differently as far as data entry and storage. 

Thanks in advance.
