I am new to this and having a problem. I have a time field [start] and a [end] field."=DateDiff("n",[start],[end])" That is stored in a field call "minutes". I devide by 60 "hours"and am trying to store the value in a table for later use. Total=hours. For some reason I can't store the value. It seems to have something to do with storing a time value. Help

If you have the two values required to calculate the result, you shouldn't store the result unless you have a reason that you didn't provide.

If you want to store a time duration, you shouldn't use a date/time field. Consider using a numeric double or integer or similar.
