Well, for one thing, they don't have any letters in common with each other. Secondly, one of them is two words, while the other is only one word. ...

Assuming you're using SQL 2005 (since this is the SQL 2005 part of the forum), you can use a CTE for this. Books Online has good data on these.

Are you actually using Access as the front end? Or just as a database and VB 6 forms as the front end?
If just as the database, have you tried...

That means, if something goes wrong with the...

The two beverages are in the table. The result of the query will be one row for that.

Alternately:
select
right('0' + cast(floor(InteractionTime/3600) as varchar(2)), 2) + ':' +
right('0' + cast(floor((InteractionTime%3600)/60) as varchar(2)), 2) + ':' +
right('0' + cast(InteractionTime%60 as varchar(2)), 2)
(Assuming the column is "InteractionTime".)
