I would say use 3 integer fields. Min's Seconds Storage Min's would hold the number of min's Seconds.... Storage would store (via filter) min's*60+seconds You can use your storage field to do all of your calculations on Then for display you can update min's to be storage/60 And seconds would be storage%60 (yes that's a %...it gives you the remainder of a division problem)
I think that would work for what you are trying to do...if Hours are needed then you can just add it to the mix -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of adamucci Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 12:23 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Elapsed Time field Hi All...I'd like to enter some time data into a single field. so if something takes 3 minutes and 22 seconds i'd like to enter 3:22 into a field. It seems like a time field will not work, since the i would have to put 3:22 AM or PM in there. I am also going to have to do some calculations on the field such as total and mean....so I don't think i can use a Character field. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could format that field, or add workflow, so this could be done? Thanks!
