Obtain difference between 2 dates >24 hrs in Hours & minutes

[Guest]

I would like to know how can I obtain a result of HOURS:MINUTES for the
total of all records in a form, where each record has two fields in the
format of "dd/mmm/yyyy/hh:nn AM/PM", one for "aircraft take off" the other
"aircraft landing". Each record on the form represents a seperate aircraft
mission, which may cover several days of logging the data. One record entry
example would be aircraft takes off 20 jan 2006 02:00 PM and lands at 21 Jan
05:00 AM; and I enter several entries like this for the month. I want to be
able to obtain the total in Hours:Minutes in the form footer(this is greater
than 24hrs, and more than several days). So how do I go in obtaining the
result I want. Respond to (e-mail address removed) would be appreciated.

Use DateDiff("n", ...) to calculate the difference in minutes.
You can then show the Hour:Minute string if you wish.

And I think Galaxy455 is going to find him/herself on a lot of spammer's
lists now that his/her e-mail has been published in clear text on the
internet!
