Access Sum Statement when using Time (RESOLVED)

[Robbo]

Had a look searching for this but not really what i wanted

have this

SELECT *
FROM Production
WHERE Production.Line = 'D4'
AND Production.Shift = 'B'
AND Production.Date = #07/13/04#;

displays

Run Time
01:45
03:30
03:05
01:20
00:45

however when run

SELECT SUM([run time]) AS ["Run Time"]
FROM Production
WHERE Production.Line = 'D4'
AND Production.Shift = 'B'
AND Production.Date = #07/13/04#;

it displays

"""Run Time"""
0.434027777777778

so i think the formating of the result needs doing but how do i do this in access?? any help please thanks in advance

would be greatful

put this into excel and the numbers added up give the 0.43 but want to add as time, not a number, any help thanks

Try this amendment:

SELECT Format(SUM([run time]),"hh:nn") AS ["Run Time"]
...

As dates/times are stored as numerics internally (the Integer part is the date), this should work nicely.

try this

SELECT cdate(SUM([run time])) AS ["Run Time"]
FROM Production
WHERE Production.Line = 'D4'
AND Production.Shift = 'B'
AND Production.Date = #07/13/04#;
