welcome

Which one you used?
As per Visakh's post, DATEDIFF(MI,0, @Duration) gives you the number of seconds from date 1900-01-01

Check the difference between two posts
declare @duration datetime
select @duration='2013-01-01 00:53:00.000'
SELECT DATEPART(MI, @Duration)
SELECT DATEDIFF(MI, 0, @Duration)

thanks for pointing that out

I tried that different options and ended up using

declare @duration datetime
select @duration='1900-01-01 00:53:00.000'
SELECT DATEPART(MI, @Duration)

which seems to be what i want
