Crystal Datediff function

Hi all,

I currently have a Crystal Reports 8.5 daily hours report that does a Datediff on the clock-in and clock-out times of a user. This part works fine assuming the user has clocked out. If the user has not yet clocked out the report returns blank. What I am trying to do is get the report to display the daily hours regardless of whether or not the user has clocked out by creating a conditional statement filling in the current date/time when necessary:

--------
if {Time.ClkOut} = #1/1/1900# then
Datediff("n",{Time.ClkIn},CurrentDateTime)
else
Datediff("n",{Time.ClkIn},{Time.ClkOut})
--------
When I run this the report is still blank if the user has not clocked-out.

1/1/1900 is the default for the ClkOut field when the initial entry is made and before it is updated.

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
Try:

if isnull({Time.ClkOut}) or
{time.clkout} = datetime(1900,1,1,0,0,0) then
Datediff("n",{Time.ClkIn},CurrentDateTime) else
Datediff("n",{Time.ClkIn},{Time.ClkOut})

Thanks for the reply! I have looked a little deeper and found that my initial problem is with a select formula...

I will try to work that out and then use your suggestion if I am still having problems.
