Is there an easy method to do this?
I have 2 time fields: 10:05:20 and 10:03:05.
I would like to get the difference for reporting between the 2 times in 00:02:15 (hhmmss).
The %Diff bif will return the differnece in *Days, *Min or *Sec.
Given that, how can I get the result in the desired format.

Thanks,
