Problem w/Date time function

Hi

I’m having a problem with the below function which I got from Microsoft’s
web site. It’s working just fine as long as I have a start date/time and a
end date/time the problem is that some of my cases are still open when a
report is run so there is no end date/time in which case I get an #Error. I
would like to use Now() as the end date/time if the end date/time is null so
I can see the elapsed time up to the time the report is run. I have tried
putting it into the ElapsedTimeDouble function with no success. Any help
with this will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Chuck

The function is fine, you just need to slightly modify the statement
that calls it to check for null and stuff the now(). The nz()
function will do that..

Something = ElapsedTimeString([date1], nz([date2],now()))
