QBasic Time clock programming

I have been given an assignment by my school to create a program where users clock in and clock out. Right now, the system just records the time and date that they punched in/out and I need a way of determining the length of time that they worked. Any examples would be very much appreciated as it is due very very soon.

I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly but if I am this is what you need to do: (this method is inefficient but simple)
Convert the year month and day to days past 2002 for both dayin and dayout. Get the difference (DIFF1) in these values which gives you the days that the user was logged in. eg. IN: 5/2/2002 OUT: 5/3/2002 5 (day 5) + 31 (january) + 0 (2002) 5 (day 5) + 31+28 (january+february)+0(2002) DIFF1 = 28 days
There are many other ways that are more efficient to do the day difference but that would require a bit more complicated math.
Then if the time is recorded in seconds past midnight (don't remember how Qbasic records time) Get the difference between these (DIFF2).
Therefore the user was logged in for DIFF1 days and DIFF2 seconds.
