Hi All,
What's the best way of detecting what Now - 5 minutes is? Effectively, I want to do the following:

5MinsAgo: TDateTime;
5MinsAgo := Now -5 minutes?

Thanks in advance

Richard

Uses DateUtils;
Var
   N : TDateTime;
begin
   N:=Now;
   N:=IncMinutes(N,-5);
end;

Or somesuch.

Hi,

Here is a simple way :

T:=Now()- StrToTime('00:05:00');

or more profesional way :

//add?dateutils to uses T:=IncMinute(Now(),-5);
