Does anyone know how to get it to subtract and add time like you would
on a time sheet.  For example, I would type in an IN time and an OUT
time and it would calculate the amount of time worked in hours.

Thanks,
John

----
             Monday      Tuesday ...
      ---------------|----------
IN           8:00 AM
OUT          1:30 PM

time(hrs)    5.50

The IN and OUT are formatted with a time/date field.  The time(hrs) is  
formatted with a normal real number (0.00).  When the times are subtracted,  
they return a number with units of days.  So to obtain hours, multiple by 24.0.

Monday:'time(hrs)'  = (Monday:OUT  - Monday:IN )*24.0
