Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could help me here. Since I'm running and
iMac, I don't have Visual Basic (6) installed. I want a small function
returns the number of seconds between two dates.

Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Steve

Dim result As Long, day1 As Date, day2 As Date
day1 = Now
day2 = Now - 1
result = DateDiff("s", day1, day2)

' If you always want a positive number, then:
result = Abs(DateDiff("s", day1, day2))

Are you wanting the VB function or just the number of seconds? If the
latter, set up a simple spreadsheet and you'll even be able to format
the result the way you want.

Since this is a VB group, and not a spreadsheet/excel/office/whatever
group, I think it's safe to assume that the OP wanted to do this
programmatically.
