Yes, as Mike recommends, I also think DateTime() will do the trick.

You could try something like:

dx = DATETIME() && Date & Time
time = TIME(x) && Time only

.. then you can

dy = dx - DATETIME() && time (date & time) lapsed since above dx
lapstime = TIME(dy) && time lapsed time (time only)

... or if you want

dz = dx + 600 && dx plus 10 minutes (date & time)
timeplus10 = TIME(dz) && 10 minutes added to the original time dx (time only)

Something like this may be handy as a class.

>>I am looking for a function, or maybe some code to help me calculate time only, no dates. I would like to be able to store 2 different times like 8:45 and 9:03 and figure how much time went by, or say the time is 8:55, now add 10 minutes. Would I have to store these figues in a character field?
