Hi thanks for the info, no i just need a column that gives me the total
hours worked for each individual as 1 line rather than me have to sit
there and calculate the total hours each for each record,

the other problem is will it calculate the hours if they are setup as
follow:

01:30
06:15
and so forth or do i need to convert the numerical fields first..as i
know in the past trying to get a sum doesnt always work.
