Calculating Elapsed Minutes when changing from PM to AM

D

Search many posts but not finding the right answer. A lot of posts
suggest the datediff function or subtracting the start time from the
end time and multiply by 24 and 60. This does nothing for the
situation were the time changes from pm to am.

Is there a good answer?



'If IsNull(Me.Duration) Then
If Not IsNull(Me.SetEndTime) And Not IsNull(Me.SetStartTime)
Then

'Hour(Me.SetEndTime - Me.SetStartTime) * 60 +
' Me.Duration = (DateDiff("n", Me.SetStartTime,
Me.SetEndTime))
'stTime = CDbl(Me.SetStartTime)
'endTime = CDbl(Me.SetEndTime)
'dblDuration = Round((endTime - stTime) * 24 * 60, 0)

Me.Duration = Round((Me.SetEndTime - Me.SetStartTime) * 24
* 60, 0)


End If
'End If

Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. use DateDiff("n",stTime,
endTime)
Doesn't something like this work for you?
?round(datediff("n",#6/22/2009 8:15 PM#,now)/60,2) & " hrs"
22.43 hrs

If you go from pm to am the result is incorrect. as an example 11:40
PM to 12:12 AM gives a result of 14?? when it should be 32.
