    Field Types

    Hi

    How do I set up a field to store irrational or recurring decimals?

    Eg 1/3, 1/6?

    I'm trying to store times, so they can be added up later: The idea being that 1h20m would be 1.3333333333333333333 etc.

    Thanks
    Chris

    Store all of your times in minutes in a LongInteger field.
