HI Plonius,
You can use this:

IF "end time " <>0T THEN
"start time" :=("end time " - "start time")/3600000;

Hope this will help.
Put the code in OnAfterGetRecord(end time and start time)

Hi polonius,
if you substract two field (variable) of type time, you will get an integer, which contains the time between your two field (variable) in miliseconds.

StartingTime := 1400T;
EndingTime := 1401T;
MESSAGE(FORMAT(EndingTime-StartingTime));

The Result will be 60000.
You can also use a variable with type Duration for the result.

Or you can check on-line help for datatype DURATION. There are examples how to use that type...
