Converting number to hh:mm
I have a number (it's currently the amount of minutes) that I need to convert to hours and minutes. for example, I have 123 minutes, but need it to read 2 hrs, 3 minutes.
I hope this is an easy one.

unless any one have a better idea...
divide the minutes by 60 and you will have the total of hours, and the rest will be the total of minutes...

The rest actually wouldn't be the total number of minutes. It would be the number of minutes represented in tenths. For example, .50 instead of 30 minutes.

nop.. that will be if you don't do the division with integers and use the comma part as the minutes...
the rest of an integer division will be the minutes...
123/60= 2 and 3 minutes (the rest)

Ok, maybe I'm confused. When I do that, for example I did 10791 minutes and divided it by 60 and came up with 179.85. That's obviously not what you're telling me to do, so we're am I going wrong?

maybe b/c English is not my first languaje I'm explained it wrong...
when you divide 10791/60 it will came out with 179 (integer type)...
the mod of that division is the rest (the diference b/t 10791 and 179*60) = 51...
did I explain it better???

To clarify: You can use the MOD operator to get your result for the minutes:
debug.print 10791 MOD 60
should print out 51 to the immediate window.
