Re: Seconds to minutes

Its seems far more reliable than what I am using (dividing by 60 for minutes, 3600 for hours and doing rounding, exploding if its not a round number etc). Its only for measuring short times, so Matt's suggestion should work ok. Ideally though, because it will crop up from time to time, it'd be the go to do it right the first time. Anyone else know of a better way? Best Regards Bob Irwin Server Admin & Web Programmer Planet Netcom ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
