If you want to round to the nearest Minute, then you can use the Round formula
Round(Minutes([my import field]), Minutes(1))

- Hey Mark,
I tried that, and 1777 (seconds) displays as 29:37:00 (HH:MM:SS). I changed the Minutes() formula to Seconds() and that worked. I can't use the rounding formula because I need to be able to specify when to round, instead of just in the exact middle.

As for the rounding, if you are still stuck on that as the famous Kirk Tracy says, "if you can say it we can do it". So if you can say what the rounding rules are then I can help you with the formula.

------------------------------- Hey Mark,
It needs be rounded down for anything ending between 0-19 seconds, and rounded up for anything ending in 20-59 seconds.
