Thanks Brian,
That method is exactly what I was looking for.

As always, this list is the best place for answers.

Use the %Diff Bif to get the difference in seconds.  Then add the seconds
to a time field set for midnight (00:00:00).

Difference between 2 time values expressed in hh:mm:ss format






Is there an easy method to do this?
I have 2 time fields:  10:05:20 and 10:03:05.
I would like to get the difference for reporting between the 2 times in 
00:02:15 (hhmmss).
The %Diff  bif will return the differnece in *Days, *Min or *Sec.
Given that, how can I get the result in the desired format.

Thanks,
