Out of curiosity, what happens if the difference between the two times is > 24 hours? For example, if the difference was 24:00:01, would not the result of the addition = 00:00:01? I have never needed to find the difference between times so I have not tried this nor, obviously, had to consider it in a program.

Thanks.

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

Sheer elegance in its simplicity! I shall commit this one to memory!
