Hi,

Date and time values are stored as the number of days since 30/12/1899 + fraction of a day. So, if the fraction is .5, that would equal 12 noon.

If you subtract Date - Floor(Date), you will get that fraction and then you can multiply by (24*60) to get the number of minutes.

Regards,

Stephen
