Kyle,

I doubt if a query will be able to filter out weekends.  I
think you’re going to have to get this info into the call
entries themselves.

Here is what I would try:
1. Add an “Hours open” field plus a display-only “Set hours
open” flag to your form.

2. Have a filter that runs when “TR.Set hours open” = “Yes”. 
This filter will calculate how many hours the entry has been
open.  We use an “artime” function that includes only working
hours and excludes weekends and holidays.  I’m not sure where
we got it.  It was here when I got the job.  Maybe somebody
out there can help us.

3. Query your form and display all the open entries.  Do a
“Modify All” and set “Set hours open” to “Yes.”  This should
cause “Hours open” to be calculated on all open entries.  (You
can also use an escalation to set “Set hours open.”)

4. Do another query that displays all open calls where “Hours
open” > whatever.

Good luck,
