Hi Tony

This will return a string of Days, Hours and Minutes.




Public Function ShowDateDiff(dt1 As Date, dt2 As Date) As String
Dim lngDays As Long
Dim lngHours As Long
Dim lngMinutes As Long

lngMinutes = DateDiff("n", dt2, dt1)

lngDays = lngMinutes / 1440
lngHours = (lngMinutes - (lngDays * 1440)) / 60
lngMinutes = lngMinutes - (lngDays * 1440) - (lngHours * 60)

ShowDateDiff = lngDays & " days " & lngHours & " hours " & lngMinutes & "
minutes"

End Function
