Re: calculate the difference between two time stamps in hh:mm:ss

Not many gyrations.
 
subdur = total seconds
total seconds divided by 60 = Hours
the remainder is seconds
Hours divided by 60 = Hours
the remainder = minutes.
 
That should do it.  Don't half adjust.  
 
(Prays to the gods of stupidity.  I sure hope I don't win their blessings
today. I did not test this.)

Doc and Mark
 
Thanks for the replies. I tried %diff and subdur, - (%diff was one of my
examples) but they will give me the hours, minutes OR seconds, but not all
three at once.
 
I was hoping that by specifying a time data field as the result would give
me what I wanted, but my thinking was wrong that a valid 'time' is not the
same thing as a timed duration.
 
I hoped i wouldn't have to go thru the gyrations of calculating the
hh:mm:ss from the *seconds, but it looks like i'll have to.
 
Thanks anyway,
 
Rick
