LOL) Here is my dilemma I have 2 Date fields that are set via Getdate() lets call them [Starttime] and [endtime] I need create a procedure that will update [ELTime] field with elapsed time in minutes between them in a Int format . Note: this May be days or weeks apart."

I'd check out the DATEDIFF function. You can write something like:

select DATEDIFF ( mi, Starttime, endtime)
from tablename
