Nice little intro to DateTime formulas.

 

Spoiler
DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Days')
DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Hours') - (DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Days')*24)
DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Minutes') - (DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Hours')*60)
DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Seconds') - (DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],'Minutes')*60)

I liked the simplicity (just one tool required), but it took me a while to get my head around the 'TimeDiff' function
