Does your database store a bunch of entries such = as:
HOUR MINUTES
= 1 30
= 0 45
= 2 15

My minutes are tallied in either 15, 30 or 45 = minute increments. In
order to add the hours and = minutes together properly, I need to figure
out a way to = convert the minutes to part of an hour and then multiple
by = the pay rate. Does anyone know how to do this using WebDNA = version
3.0?
Here's a code snippet...
Total = Time worked: [HoursTotal] hrs and [MinutesTotal] minutes = <br><br>
Total Cost: $[math][HoursTotal]*[lookup =
db=3Dmy.db&value=3D[Employee]&lookInField=3D = Employee&returnField=3D
= Employee_Rate¬Found=3D][/math]<br></font>
