date time

hi all !

i am doing a query to calculate the difference between a time in a
field and the present date/time.
the problem is its producing the result as a decimal value of a day.
how can i get it to produce the result in days & hours ??

thanks

To get the result in hours and fractions of an hour, use TimeValue() to
separate the time component from the date/time value, and multiply by 24.

Example:
Hours: 24 * TimeValue([SomeDateTime])
