Thanks for investigating and updating the code …

Found the problem in my code and updated OpenNTF. It’s always the little things that get you, like checking for False when you should be checking for True.

I have used the code in production for a while, so I will have to investigate what the issue is. Maybe I screwed something up when I was trying to comment the code.

Sean,

I have tried your class and found that it does not seem to calculate the elapsed time correctly. When I use this code for example:

Dim elTime As New ElapsedTime( “13.06.2007 10:00″, “14.06.2007 10:20″, “” )
Msgbox elTime.GetBElapsedString()

leaving the default settings for nondays and business hours untouched, the result is “20 Minutes” which is … not correct.
When I wrote my code, I did not have the time to dig too deep into your code to search for the reason, why I do not get the correct result. So I decided to write it from scratch.

I tackled this same sort of thing a couple of years ago. The client wanted to know how long a certain trouble ticket had been open, both real time and business hours. It caused me to do exactly the same thing, namely create my own LS class.

I posted my class on OpenNTF. You might want to take a look at it and see how similar our approaches were.
