I assume you're talking about the function Graham Seach & I wrote
http://www.accessmvp.com/DJSteele/Diff2Dates.html

Not sure what could having a zero before the 1 would do for the example you
give (since you end up having days and hours interspersed), but you can
easily change

If booCalcYears And (lngDiffYears 0 Or ShowZero) Then
varTemp = lngDiffYears & IIf(lngDiffYears 1, " years", " year")
End If

If booCalcMonths And (lngDiffMonths 0 Or ShowZero) Then
If booCalcMonths Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _
lngDiffMonths & IIf(lngDiffMonths 1, " months", "
month")
End If
End If

If booCalcDays And (lngDiffDays 0 Or ShowZero) Then
If booCalcDays Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _
lngDiffDays & IIf(lngDiffDays 1, " days", " day")
End If
End If

If booCalcHours And (lngDiffHours 0 Or ShowZero) Then
If booCalcHours Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _
lngDiffHours & IIf(lngDiffHours 1, " hours", " hour")
End If
End If

If booCalcMinutes And (lngDiffMinutes 0 Or ShowZero) Then
If booCalcMinutes Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _
lngDiffMinutes & IIf(lngDiffMinutes 1, " minutes", "
minute")
End If
End If

If booCalcSeconds And (lngDiffSeconds 0 Or ShowZero) Then
If booCalcSeconds Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _
lngDiffSeconds & IIf(lngDiffSeconds 1, " seconds", "
second")
End If
End If

If booCalcYears And (lngDiffYears 0 Or ShowZero) Then

If booCalcMonths Then
varTemp = varTemp & IIf(IsNull(varTemp), Null, " ") & _

I have used the above function, however was wondering if there is a way I
can
change what is returned?
At times I get records 1 day 10 hours 4 minutes, and other times 1 hour 8
minutes. When I try to place these returned records in ascendingdescending
order according to this field they do not return in order as there is not
a
'0' before the '01' hours. Is there any way of doing this?

The more I play aroudn the more questions I have!!
