You know, I've been a newbie in a lot of communities, (Quake, Diablo, College....).  
I've never felt as supported as I do in the CF community.  You guys rule.  Thanks for 
the help.

if you're using SQL server, there's an SQL function called DateDiff.  it
will calculate the difference of two date/time fields in the DB.

there's also a CF function called DateDiff.  it will calculate the
difference of two date/time formatted strings (so you don't REALLY have to
use datetime if you don't want).  however, it's recommended, as the DB can
do a lot of that work for you.

Subject: Hmm..Calculate Elapsed Time



   I'm timestamping logins and logouts, I want to be able to calculate the
time elapsed between the two.  My question is, what format should I be
writing these timestamps in, and I'm hoping that there's a function I can
use that is smart enough to just subtract time values....?  Thoughts?

Willy
