RE: Calculating Duration in days/hours from timestamp field

Thanks Martin

I couldnt find much info on %DIFF although it DOES roll off the tongue
rather nicely, LOL
In any case I found this little sample and modified it to work as I needed
it to.
If you have any info or examples you want to share concerning the %DIFF BIF,
Id love to see it..
Thanks
