Time calculations 1

[Cornerstone]

This should be easy but I am new to this. I have two comboboxes on my form. Each is populated with time values that look like this:

6:00 AM
6:30 AM
etc

I want a person to be able to pick for example 10:00PM in one combobox and 5:00 PM in the other and have a text box show the number 5 which is the number of hours between the two boxes. If it were 7:30 PM and 12:00 AM it is obviously 4.5.

How can I do this?

Take a look at the DateDiff function.

Values in Textoxes are text, so they must be converted.

exs

    Dim x As String, y As String
    x = "6:00 AM"
    y = "6:30 AM"
    MsgBox Abs(TimeValue(x) - TimeValue(y)) * 24

I did this and it works just like I need it to. Thanks.

TextBox4.Text = DateDiff(DateInterval.Minute, CDate(ComboBox1.Text), CDate(ComboBox2.Text)) / 60
