converting text to Hours Minutes and Seconds

  Hi Bartley

  If hours, minutes and seconds are stored as intergers in your db you could put a function in a module to do the conversion e.g.

  Public Function TimeFormat(Hr As Integer, Mn As Integer, Sec As Integer) As String
  If Hr < 10 Then TimeFormat = "0" & Trim$(Str$(Hr)) Else TimeFormat = Trim$(Str$(Hr))
  If Mn < 10 Then TimeFormat = TimeFormat & ":0" & Trim$(Str$(Mn)) Else TimeFormat = TimeFormat & ":" & Trim$(Str$(Mn))
  If Sec < 10 Then TimeFormat = TimeFormat & ":0" & Trim$(Str$(Sec)) Else TimeFormat = TimeFormat & ":" & Trim$(Str$(Sec))
  End Function

  You then use the function in your query or report passing the three fileds as parameters

  Hi Bartley

  you can use functions in your report. You can add a user function to a module and use it in reports, queries, forms etc. I suggest you use the example Derek posted converting it to a function which takes three parameters. Then on you report place an unbound field, which you can then use the build option to select your function, and to put in each of your three fileds as parameters.

  Thanks for your reply

  I am having problems with the code as to where exactly it should be inserted.

  What I am trying to do is to run a report showing each a/c no and each a/c numbers total time elapsed

  The three fields are separate Hrs Min and Sec

  Thanks

  Hi,

  You could use the date method DateAdd to add the seconds, minutes and hours.

  Public Sub ReturnDate()
      Dim myDate As Date
      myDate = CDate("00:00:00")
     
      'add seconds
      myDate = DateAdd("s", "65", myDate)
      'add minutes
      myDate = DateAdd("n", "125", myDate)
      'add hours
      myDate = DateAdd("h", "5", myDate)

      MsgBox myDate
  End Sub
