Use the createtime(hh,mm,ss) function so that CF creates a proper time
variable.
so
you can then use any if the date/time functions on these variables.

I am developing a form where the user selects a start and end time from a drop

anyone tell me what is the best way to go about representing these time in
order to use them for calculation.
Thanks

I was actually planning on taking advantage of datediff/dateadd, that's why
I was hoping a datetime datatype would suffi
