[AccessD] datediff & format

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Kostas

You can use this function:

<code>
Public Function FormatHourMinute( _
  ByVal datTime As Date, _
  Optional ByVal strSeparator As String = ":") _
  As String

' Returns count of days, hours and minutes of datTime
' converted to hours and minutes as a formatted string
' with an optional choice of time separator.
'
' Example:
'   datTime: #10:03# + #20:01#
'   returns: 30:04
'
' 2005-02-05. Cactus Data ApS, CPH.

  Dim strHour       As String
  Dim strMinute     As String
  Dim strHourMinute As String

  strHour = CStr(Fix(datTime) * 24 + Hour(datTime))
  ' Add leading zero to minute count when needed.
  strMinute = Right("0" & CStr(Minute(datTime)), 2)
  strHourMinute = strHour & strSeparator & strMinute

  FormatHourMinute = strHourMinute

End Function
</code>

    TotalTime: FormatHourMinute(Sum([TimeOut]-[TimeIn]))

Is it always within a single day?
or
Can it roll over midnight?  i.e. Can TimeIn be greater than TimeOut?
Can it exceed 24 hours?  If so, do you want 1:02:30 or 26:30 ?
