When the user reopens the form and changes status to Completed/Close, create an OnAfterChange handler that compares current time to submitted time and displays the difference. This will require a little coding but is pretty easy. The out-of-box samples that ship with InfoPath have some JS code that manipulates dates. Check out the Absence Request solution for some ideas.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1254.aspxWed, 19 Apr 2006 18:17:18 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1254rjaynes0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1254.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1254Hi, I am trying to create a trouble ticket system that will help me keep track of tech support calls, then after I enter each "trouble ticket" I submit it to a database. I would like to know if there is a way to create a timer that would activate when the form is submitted to the database, and would stop when I reopen the ticket and change the Status to Completed/Closed. I would also like the length displayed at that point, or it could keep a continious count.<br /><br />I know what I am wanting is probably a very long process, but I would like to learn how to do it if there is a way.<br /><br />Thank you very much,<br />Ryan
