I want to check the time element of a date entered against the
a field that stores the Working Day Start Time to see if the time element of the date entered precedes or is after the Day Start Time.

I can currently do this using datediff and playing around with date calculations but what is the easiest way to do so?

The code I am currently using is along the lines of:

:
declare @dat_starttime as datetime,
@dat_to as datetime,
@int_interval as dec (7,5)

SELECT @dat_starttime = '14:00', @dat_to = '15-mar-2004 13:15'

select @int_interval = datediff(minute,@dat_starttime, @dat_to - datediff(day,@dat_starttime,@dat_to))
print @int_interval

if all your doing is checking to see if one date is greater then the other, then you should be able to do it directly, as in:
if date1 > date2 .....

I'm not comparing dates at all.

The system has a setting for StartTimeOfDay which indicates the working start time.

I need to take the time element of the actual transaction date and compare the time element to the StartTimeOfDay.
