    SELECT STUFF(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),EndDT-StartDT,114),1,2,DATEDIFF(hh,0,EndDT-StartDT))

    +1 to Jeff for that! Absolutely brilliant.

    Heh... thanks Dwain but, nah... not brilliant. :blush: Just lazy. I hate typing long formulas... I make too many typing mistakes when they get long. 😛

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
