Access 2003 ShortTime Format is not "sticking"
I've got a problem that's got me stumped.
I have a Report chart listing my teams Aveage Handle Time (by month). When I view the Qry Builder -- the time is correctly showing SHORT TIME ... ie 11:03 -- elevan minutes, three seconds. When I "run" the report, the SHORT TIME format is 'lost' and I get .0460416667. As hard as I've tried -- I can't get the short time format to show on the chart. Very bummed... any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Change the Format property of the textbox in your report to "Short Time".

Sorry, just noted that you are speaking of a chart. On which part of the
chart is this "not working"? -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Ken Snell (MVP)" wrote in message ...

As hard as I've tried -- I can't get the short time format to show on the chart. If you are trying to use a Date/Time variable to show an elapsed time, be aware that it works only under certain circumstances -- the Date/Time variable is intended for, and works properly for, showing a point in time, e.g., January 27, 2007 10:23:03AM... which will display 10:23 as "Short Time." The date is physically stored in a Double Precision floating point format, with the whole number part representing the date as days since Dec. 30, 1899 (negative covers dates prior to that date) and the fractional part representing time (seconds?) since midnight. So when you store only a time... the built-in Time variable, for example, you are storing that time with 0 in the date part, and may not format as you'd like. If you want represent a period of time... like hours worked in a week... you'd be better to do so in a numeric variable... perhaps an integer or long integer in which you store the seconds, or a single or double in which you store a value in hours or minutes with fraction. Then you will need to format that yourself, into the hours and minutes format you want. Larry Linson Microsoft Access MVP |
