Help with DaysDiff/HourDiff (not really datediff())

4 Fields:

Date1 Time1
Date2 Time2

How do I calculate days/hours diff between Date1Time1 & Date2Time2?

e.g. 3days 12hours

If it were 05/02/05 11pm and 05/03/05 8am? It should say 0day 9hrs.

If I have a bunch of these days/hrs diff, how do I come up with a
formulae to add them all up as well? I know if I do a sum(), I will
get a bunch of number again!

Thanks in advance.

Perry,
Maybe you need to do something like the following:

First you will need to combine the fields Datex and Timex.
I don't know how your dates and times are formatted but as long as they are *real*
date,time fields you can convert them to long and just add the values.
So DateTime1= Clng(Date1) + Clng(Time1)
DateTime2= Clng(Date2) + Clng(Time2)
Then you can do a Datediff to count the hours. You can add the hours as you wish.
HoursDiff = DateDiff("h", DateTime1, DateTime2)
Your Result will be like CalcResult: HoursDiff \24 & " days " & HoursDiff Mod 24 & " hrs"

Hope this helps

re: Help with DaysDiff/HourDiff (not really datediff())

Oops! Obviously I was a bit to fast with this ....

So DateTime1= Clng(Date1) + Clng(Time1)
DateTime2= Clng(Date2) + Clng(Time2)
Should read:
So DateTime1= Clng(Date1) + Cdbl(Time1)
DateTime2= Clng(Date2) + Cdbl(Time2)
