Please give us a bit more explanation of what you are trying to do. There's
no doubt that a calculation can be done with dates and times, but we need
more details to provide the right information.

Hi,

See if the Date Calc file that you can download from:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=249902
helps.

Cheers

OK.

I have two labels (Label1 - Start date, Label2 - end date).

On clicking these labels the date and time in automatically entered a
a bookmark, That way no matter where the cursor is on the screen i
will goto back to the bookmark and enter the date and time.

What I want to do is have either a field or label etc that wil
automatically give the difference in time either in days, hours o
minutes.

I hope this helps.

Thanks agai

Check out the DateDiff function in the Visual Basic Help File

Returns a Variant (Long) specifying the number of time intervals between two
specified dates.

Syntax

DateDiff(interval, date1, date2[, firstdayofweek[, firstweekofyear]])

The DateDiff function syntax has these named arguments:

interval. String expression that is the interval of time you use to
calculate the difference between date1 and date2.
date1, date2 Variant (Date). Two dates you want to use in the calculation.

The interval argument has these settings:
Setting Description
yyyy Year
q Quarter
m Month
d Day
ww Week
h Hour
n Minute
s Second
