Calculation woes
I have a form to enter help desk calls. We have one field with start time and
one with end time. Then we have a field to calculate the number of minutes spent on each call. That field is called "Minutes". In my monthly report, we detail the month's calls. Then we want a total of the minutes. The expression we created was =Sum([Minutes]) For one month, the total was 298 minutes, but the expression returned 29.0416666666 What's up with that? Thanks.

Calculation woes
What is Minutes?
Is it the name of a Date/Time field? Is it a calculated expression in a query? Is it a text box with an expression in its Control Source? Where is this text box? Is it in the Report Footer section? In a Group Footer? In a Page Footer? -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
