Question : How do I sum time(duration) values in Access 03?

I am new to Access, and don't understand much;  I am trying to sum a series of durations in an Access report on songs to give me the total time (duration) of the songs chosen in my query.  The format is __:__.  How can I get a text box to sum total time from the field "time" in my report??

lowstring,

You never stated the Format or the Datatype of this "Duration"

If it is real "Time" DataType, and formatted like this (hh:nn:ss):
0:03:15
0:12:30
0:00:04
... or formated like this: (hhh:nn:ss):
00:53:15
00:12:30
00:00:04


Then you can simply use this as the ControlSource of a TextBox in your Report Footer:
    =Sum([TimeDuration])
Then set the format of the textbox to:
    hh:nn:ss
