I have two dates that I want to find the difference in minutes or hours (preferably minutes)

What I try:
<dtml-var expr="_.DateTime(zdate-start_date).PreciseTime()"> Please read the "DateTime" documentation carefully.
I expect, both "zdate" and "start_date" are DateTime objects. Then, "zdate-start_date" is a floating point number representing the difference in days! The "DateTime" constructor interprets a float as a number of seconds since the epoch which is apparently "1970/01/01 01:00:00". Thus, the construct above will not give you what you want. Try: <dtml-var expr="(zdate-start_date)*24*60"> Dieter
