In Marcia's 1001 Things book, she lists a handy utility for calculating elapsed time by using the total seconds.

function getminutes
return int((elapsed_seconds % 3600)/60)

I just now noticed that there is a problem with the way it is returning some values back to the calling program.

Using 07/16/2007 08:42:30 as the start time and 07/16/2007 08:49:30 as the ending time, it returns 6 minutes, rather than 7. The days,hours & second functions seem to work just fine.

Any suggestions? Thoughts?

Thanks,

Dick
