What do I put where? If I put:

overtime = SecToDur(IIF(sum(datediff("s",[clockin],
[clockout])-
40*60*60 >0, sum(datediff("s",[clockin],[clockout])-40*60*
60,0))

In the query, it says "The Expression you entered has a
function
containing the wrong number of arguments."

I parsed out your code, you are missing a parenthesis somewhere.
overtime =
SecToDur(
IIF(
sum(
datediff(
"s",[clockin],[clockout]
)
- 40*60*60 >0,
sum(
datediff(
"s",[clockin],[clockout]
)-40*60*60,0
)
)




1) in a query, you need a colon to define the column, instead of
an equals,
2) the nesting of parentheses can be a royal PITA. I oftem build
in notepad, tabbing in for each ( and out per ), to make sure
they're in the right places.

Overtime:
sectodur(
IIF(
sum(
datediff(
"s",[clockin],[clockout]
)
)-40*60*60 >0
,
sum(
datediff(
"s",[clockin],[clockout]
)
)-40*60-60
,
0
)

)

With this level of nested calls, I'd probably move the code to a
function.
