I wonder if there is a way to find the diffrence between 2 date in minutes.
NOT just the minutes field (as DATEDIFF function does),but the entire diffrence -> translated to minutes.
thanks kfir"

I'm pretty sure DATEDIFF actually does what you want.

eg
SELECT DATEDIFF(n,CONVERT(datetime,'20-Jan-2002 09:41:00'),CONVERT(datetime,'21-Jan-2002 09:43:00'))

returns 1442

Are you sure you're using "n" or "mi" for the datepart?

I hope that when I die someone will say of me "That guy sure owed me a lot of money"

Take the datediff in seconds and divide by 60.
