Seconds to Time Conversion for Display on a Cross-Tab

Question

I am doing a cross-tab report of login times for hours logged into a system. In the cross-tab if i use the time, I can't sum. So i have the time converted to seconds to allow for a sum and totals.  Now I need to change the display of the field to time.   When I go to my Format Field of the field in seconds, under Common tab i go to Display String.  I put in the following formula: totext((/60)/60,0,"","") & ":" & totext(truncate(remainder(/60,60)),0) & ":" & totext(remainder({Secondin_Logins.T},60),0);   My problem is it changes all to report the same time; no time is different. And the formula is wrong becuase when i do the hours if it is .501 or high it rounds up. Anyone have any solutions to convert seconds to Time?

Part of the probem may be the crosstab,   any way, this example uses a group but should be generic enough to give you some ideas.
whileprintingrecords;
StringVar Hours1;
StringVar Minutes1;
StringVar Seconds1;
NumberVar time2;
time2:= 0;
if Sum ({Work Time}, ) = 0 then 0 else
time2:= Sum ({Work Time}, );
If time2 <= 0 Then
"00:00:00"
Else
( Hours1:=ToText(Truncate(time2/3600),0);
Minutes1:=ToText(Truncate(Remainder(time2,3600)/60),0);
Seconds1:=ToText(Remainder(Remainder(time2,3600),60),0);
//Display the time formated.
(if length(Hours1) < 2 then '0') + Hours1 + ":" +
&#91;"0",""&#93;&#91;length(Minutes1)&#93; + Minutes1 + ":" +
&#91;"0",""&#93;&#91;length(Seconds1)&#93; + Seconds1);
