SYMPTOMS
When you use the DateDiff() function on a large interval where the time
periods are specified in minutes or seconds, the result is not correct.
CAUSE
The DateDiff() function returns a long integer. If the result is greater
than the allowed range for long integers (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647),
Microsoft Access truncates the value and returns the truncated value.
