Access: Minute Function

In Access, the Minute function returns an Integer specifying a whole number between 0 and 59, inclusive, representing the minute of the hour.

The syntax for the Minute function is:

Minute ( time )

The required time argument is any numeric or string expression, that can represent a time. If number is Null, this function returns a Null.

Dim MyMinute As Integer  MyMinute = Minute(#3:45:12 AM#)

This example uses the Minute function to obtain the minute of the hour from a specified time. Now the MyMinutee variable would contain the value of 45.
