The way I usually do something like that is... SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy"); Date d1 = dateFormat.parse("08/07/2003"); Date d2 = dateFormat.parse("09/15/2003"); long time = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime(); // t dif in ms // then convert time to the time units you want

Thanks a lot Chris.. So If you want me to get the # of days ... I think i'll Go this way : long time = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime(); // t dif in ms int days=(int)time/(24*36*100000); I hope this is going to work always.. Let me know, if by chance i'm going wrong somewhere.. Thx anyway
