Description:

Function: TimeRound ( theTime ; incriment ; forceUpDn )

Description: This function rounds a time field by a dynamic incriment
value, with the option to force it to round up or down, or
by default it uses normal rounding. Normal rounding defines
the breakpoint at 50% of the incriment value.

Output Format: a time value representing the rounded time.

See the following examples:
- TimeRound ( "10:25:00" ; "00:10:00" ; "" ) = "10:30:00"
- TimeRound ( "10:24:59" ; "00:10:00" ; "" ) = "10:20:00"
- TimeRound ( "00:03:59" ; "00:01:00" ; -1 ) = "00:03:00"
- TimeRound ( "03:00:02" ; "01:00:00" ; 1 ) = "04:00:00"
- TimeRound ( "03:00:02" ; "01:00:00" ; "up" ) = "04:00:00"
Parameters:

timeField - A time value to round.

incriment - A time value representing the interval to round by. A Null, "" or
0 value will use Normal rounding. A positive number will force
the rounding to round up to the next highest incriment, a negative
number will force the rounding to drop to the next lowest increment.

forceUpDn - A number value (or one of two thee values; up, dn or down )
representing desired rounding type to be used. A Null, "" or
0 value will use Normal rounding. A positive number, or "up", will
force the rounding up to the next highest incriment, a negative
number, or "dn" or "down", will force the rounding to drop to
the next lowest increment.
