"Hours" and "Minutes" are just variable names. It's the calculations that you need. If you have a textbox where you want to show the hours and minutes, you would put something like this in its source:
=DateDiff("h",[StartTime],[StopTime]) & ":" & DateDiff("m",[StartTime],[StopTime]) - (Hours * 60) (Watch the word wrap here, since this will undoubtedly get wrapped around to a second line.)

I'm sure it's my fault and maybe i didn't phrase my question correctly. I need to caculate total time worked in a calculate field in my query. Stoptime minus start time and have it format in hours & minutes. StartTime & StopTime are in Time format in the query already.
