Easy Time Question

[kurtsimons]

I want to display the "connection" time of a client to a server

what is the easiest way to determine the months / days / hours / minutes a client has been connected?

???

ctTime = now - connectedattime

-------------------

WinSock_ConnectionRequesy
connectedattime=now

That would work. Try using the DateDiff function. I think that is the primary purpose, but I've never used it. It should be self explanatory in VB when the menu/tooltip pops up telling you want to do.

thanks, I didn't know about datediff

I got it to spit out the number of seconds... is there an easy way to format seconds to days / hours / min / secs in VB?

(other than dividing by 60 etc.

use:

DateDiff("s", StartTime, EndTime)

I have a function at home that does this, but it does divide by 60, I think. I'll post it for you when I get home if nobody helps you by then.

no thats what I'll do... did now if I could pass that result off to a format() type of a function

thanks

Do you still need that function? I can't seem to find it in my code DB, but I can probably rewrite it for you if you need it. I don't want to write it and then find out that you already know how to do it.

no need, I got it under controll
