Hi
This was discussed recently with a lot of in-depth comment. The best thing to do is to search the delphi-en past messages but the essence of the discussions was that the DateTime format is the time from some date in the past as a floating point number of days. Time is the fraction eg noon = 0.5. Therefore you can trunc the DateTime to make an integer and then subtract. There was also a discussion on the various library functions available. The thread was good and well worth reading.
