Business Database Help
Jan 18, 2006
I am setting up a Database for my company, we want to do it in our local branch first then hopefully we can role the idea out to the entire company. I have started the database already just setting up the tables I need, I think my Design is slightly off though. I am asking for the forums help if that is okay, okay here is the setup.
Areas Needed:
Employee
Projects
Clients
Employee Area:
Date of Hire
fname
lname
salary
title
timesheets
etc...
Project Area:
project #
project name
client
budget info
etc...
Client Area:
client name
addy
contact info
etc....
Project area is going to be the main hub for everthing else, the project number is the key to the entire database. client will be attached to a project via project number, employees timesheets tracked by project number, invoices printed by project number. timesheets will generate the invoices to the client. You guys get the idea, I hope that some of you guys can help me in the spare time you have.
Again, i am looking for Design assistance, i will post a sketch of my design in a couple.

I have set up this database here for my new sole trader business. In it I enter data of my purchases and my gross sales. I have generated 2 queries both based on the same tables. 1 calculates the purchases and the other the sales.
I want to be able to subtract the purchases from the sales so that I can see my profit at any point in time.
The complication is brought on I think from the fact that I am using one table for both Purchasing and Sales. However, I use a filtering method to separate the two.

Good Afternoon All,
I am in need of you help in calculating this. Basically, I don't want the code to count zero. For example, today is 3/19/2008 - Date() should equal = 1 and not zero..
Here's some more examples:[lastfollowup] being 3/18/08
Date() - [LastFollowup] = 2
Here's my code:
DaysOpen: ((DateDiff("d",[LastFollowup],Date(),2))-(Int(DateDiff("d",[LastFollowup],Date(),2)/7))*2)+IIf(Weekday(Date(),2)>5,5-Weekday(Date(),2),0)+IIf(Weekday([LastFollowup],2)=6,1,0)-IIf(Weekday([LastFollowup],2)>Weekday(Date(),2),2,0)
Thank you,
John

Hi. I'm a freshmen currently in college and I'm taking business info systems right now... and well I'm just being paranoid. Anyway, i really hope this isn't at all too confusing or anything... but
For a hw assignment we where sopposed to like dl this database and just do random commands on it. Anyway, we're sopposed to save it at the end... and email the file to the professor who will grade it.
Anyway, I asked her how she would know if we actually did all the steps and shit... and how she could tell (esp if the directions where like... "1. filter this out." then "3. take out the filter."
she replied that access "saves" all the actions in a database in the document so she will be able to see all the actions that we took.
I did all the assignments, and I'm just being paranoid about my work right now... since it's the new semester and the teacher is SO NICE but very picky when it comes to grading.
My question is just to ask if anyone knows the "secret" command/function/button or whatever you do to basically do what the professor would do to grade my database / ie see that I did everything.
I just want to check to see all my work is good before I submit it to her.
Thank you so much for your time and reading this. :)

I am building a database for a Real Estate business.
I have 2 tables tblPurchasers and tblVendors.
I intend to write a query that will match the requirements of the purchasers to the properties for sales (from the vendors).
My issue is this (best illustrated via an example);
I run my Query on the 1st April and four properties are produced as being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' immediately deems properties 1 and 2 unsuitable and views property 3 on the 6th April. Property 3 is subsequently deemed unsuitable as well.
I re-run my qury on the 10th April and five properties are produced as now being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so i don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so I don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Something involving a yes/no box on a form would be the best method for me of implementing this (as it would fit in with the scematic of the database to date).
I imagine the properties (with a small photo) appearing and tick boxes headed 'Unsuitable', 'Viewed' etc be used to dismiss properties, which do then not re-appear.
MANY THANKS !

SELECT
[(2) MAX BATCH].ID_CASE,
[(2) MAX BATCH].MaxOfDT_BATCH,
NOLDBA_LOG_DISBURSEMENT_DETAIL.DT_DISBURSE
FROM
[(2) MAX BATCH] INNER JOIN NOLDBA_LOG_DISBURSEMENT_DETAIL ON
([(2) MAX BATCH].MaxOfDT_BATCH = NOLDBA_LOG_DISBURSEMENT_DETAIL.DT_BATCH) AND
([(2) MAX BATCH].ID_CASE = NOLDBA_LOG_DISBURSEMENT_DETAIL.ID_CASE);
Can someone tell me how to find the ID_CASE's where
NOLDBA_LOG_DISBURSEMENT_DETAIL.DT_DISBURSE is less
than or equal to 2 business days (M-F) of the MaxofDT_BATCH in this query?

I have a query that calculates business days. However if my end date is missing the query has error codes because the date its looking for is null. Can show me were to put the nz function.
here's the module for the business days
Function Work_Days(BegDate As Variant, EndDate As Variant) As Integer
' "Calculating the workdays between Dates"
' Note that this function does account for holidays.
Dim WholeWeeks As Variant
Dim DateCnt As Variant
Dim EndDays As Integer
BegDate = DateValue(BegDate)
EndDate = DateValue(EndDate)
DateCnt = BegDate
EndDays = 0
Do While DateCnt <= EndDate
If Not IsNull(DLookup("HoliDate", "tblHolidays", "[HoliDate]=#" & DateCnt & "#")) Then
EndDays = EndDays - 1
End If
If Format(DateCnt, "ddd") <> "Sun" And _
Format(DateCnt, "ddd") <> "Sat" Then
EndDays = EndDays + 1
End If
DateCnt = DateAdd("d", 1, DateCnt)
Loop
Work_Days = EndDays
End Function
and here's the query
SELECT [Reques_ID], Work_days([Date_Received],[To_Director]-1) AS Turnaround_To_Director,
Work_days([To_Director],[From_Director]-1) AS Turnaround_From_Director, Work_days([To_VP],[From_VP]-1) AS Turnaround_From_VP, Work_days([Position_Number_Requested],[Position_Number_Recieved]-1) AS Turnaround_For_Position_Number, Work_days([Date_Received],[Approval_to_mgr]-1) AS Turnaround_EPS, Work_days([Date_Received],[JOIS_Posted_Date]-1) AS Turnaround_To_Posting, Work_days([Approval_to_mgr],[JOIS_Package_Return_Date]-1) AS Turnaround_For_Package_Return
INTO tbl_turnaround
FROM Artifact;

I have seen a few modules that let you count how many business days between two dates. What I am looking for is how to count 10 business days from another field.
Say for example I have a txt box that auto populates =Date(). I want to have another txt box that will count 10 business days ahead and put that date in the box.
This is so I can have the db show a due date for reports sent in.
Anyone seen/done/have code for this?

Is there an Add in for Microsoft access that will using a gui based method, run queries, set up automated reporting (task Scheduler) in an easy to administer method. Quest Toad has a new add in Toad for Data Analysis. I am looking for something similar for access. Right now I am doing this manually via creating macros, etc. But there really should be an easier way.
Thanks

Hello all,
I have 2 tables:
- Employee
- PackageTracker (Contains PackageNumber, date received, date sent, status)
I would like to query:
- which employee has the package
- How long have we had the package (calculate only business days)
- What is the status
I would like the things mentioned above to be ran in one query.
I am stuck with the calculations. I found a macro code to calculate the business days but I am stuck.
Please advise.
Thank you,
John

Hi, I'm trying to get some date tracking stats...
trying to get the average number of days between two dates using formula:
=Avg(DateDiff("d",[DateRec],[DateNumb]))
where datenumb was the first date app was entered into db and
where daterec is the date the first part of app was recorded.
this works but I'm assuming it's counting straight calendar days. I was wondering is there a way to get it to count only business days and not weekends or holidays in access???

Hello,
I am fishing for advice on what systems people would recommend...
Currently, our system breaks down like this:
We use Peach Tree (old version - sucks) for accounting (this is where my question will kick in)
We use a rudimentary database I built for contact/prospect management (I intend for the above to become much more advanced as I learn, something more than "rudimentary as soon as possible)
We are incorporating a new phone system that will allow us to track may things and incorporate into our database (as far as area code reports, things like that as to track advertising effectiveness in specific areas
My question is this:
To eventually get to the point of having a fairly seamless infrastructure, what accounting software would you all recommend? Being able to integrate with an access interface is vital. We will likely get to the point soon where we hire someone to build a database so as my responsibilities will shift to more of a maintenance role, with support, rather than design...
This is a company that is built on paper, not a huge one yet, but decent size, and we want electronic info to increase efficiency...
I am looking into suggestions for a 20 - 40 person company. Currently, I am starting to look into MAS 90, and would love to get some insight.
Thanks!!!

I've been playing with the Northwind db to see if I can alter it to work a customer, order and invoice solution for my wifes business.
All I really need is customer contacts, order details and invoice generation from the order. (purchase orders, inventory, tax, shipping details all not relevant).
The more complex bit for the order is that her business is mostly mix&match from a range of products (wedding/bridesmaid stuff). So one order might be for 3 bridesmaid outfits, each outfit made from 6 options. e.g.
Bridesmaid 1. Top A(size 14), Straps B, Accessory C, Fastening D, Skirt E(size 12), Optional Item F.
Bridesmaid 2. Top A(size 16), Straps B, Accessory C, Fastening D, Skirt E(size 14), Optional Item F.
Bridesmaid 3. Top A(size 10), Straps B, Accessory C, Fastening D, Skirt E(size 10), Optional Item F.
Each item has a price, so the total price per outfit is sum of these. Price for order sum of outfits.
The invoice should show 3 outfits with detail and total prices.
I was thinking of either adding some parts from Northwind to the basic contacts db rather than trying to cut out the 70% of Northwind I wouldnt need.
My access abilities are best described as rubbish, does the above sound vaguley feasible for a novice? Or should I just pull my hair now in anticipation?
thanks for any help

I have to create a query that will reflect the number of calls and messages a person has either taken during business hours and if a message was left how long did it take them to return the message. We are open from 6:00AM - 4:30PM so my boss wants to only see how many calls a person took during business hours. now the users have to run this report daily and monthly. and have to make it accessible through a report so they can send it to the supervisors.
The two fields I have to make the calculations on is the [Date & Time Left] the time the call was made [Date Returned] if they left a message the date it was returned. Also if the call was returned in one day she wants it broken down into minutes (as in how many hours and mins was the call returned)
This is what I have so far: I noticed there was something in Excel called NETWORKDAYS?
Code:
SELECT [Message Tracking].[Date & Time Left], [Message Tracking].[Date Returned], DateDiff("h",[Date & Time Left],[Date Returned]) AS TotalHours, [Message Tracking].ID, [Message Tracking].[User Returning]
FROM [Message Tracking]
GROUP BY [Message Tracking].[Date & Time Left], [Message Tracking].[Date Returned], [Message Tracking].ID, [Message Tracking].[User Returning]

What I am trying to do is execute a function M-F every 2 hours between 4am and 6pm. The 2 hour part was easy, I just created a form with a timer, but the other part isn't working so well, here is my latest attempt.
Code:
StrTime = Time()
If Not ((Weekday(Now()) = vbSaturday) Or (Weekday(Now()) = vbSunday)) And (StrTime > "4:00" Or StrTime < "18:00") Then

I am trying to find a simple way to determine the work date based on knowing the Start date and how many days ahead I want the date for. These means I need to exclude weekends and holidays.
I tried Pat Hartmans solution located at
[URL]
I discovered that the function in there that is supposed to do this does not account for weekends, only holidays.
