I have 2 strings, strStartTime and strEndTime.
strStartTime = “12:32:54”
strEndTime = “12:33:05”
I want to find out how many seconds elapsed between strStartTime and strEndTime so I did this:
Dim dtDuration as date
dtDuration = DateDiff("s", CDate(strStartTime), CDate(strEndTime))
The result I get is dtDuration = “#1/10/1900#” in the Locals watch window.
Why does this happen? How do I get dtDuration to equal 11 for the 11 seconds that elapsed between the start and end times?
Just change variable type to Long:
VBA converts numerical results of DateDiff functions into variable with date type.
