Time calc's.

[RET]

I have two fields one that list start time and the other has the end time...lets call one feild "time in" and the other "time out" I would like total up time spent automatically in a third feild "Time total". Can this be done and how? I can't seem to figure it out.

First of all, make sure that time in and time out are in the time format when you define the fields. When you define the total time field, make that a calculation, "time out - time in" and have the result as time, this should give you the difference in amount of hours and minutes. (When you enter time, make sure you put the time and AM or PM) Also, if you want to have the time in seconds, just have the result format of total time to be number.

Oops, forgot to mention - also take a look at "Calculating time" in this category for times that go through midnight
