I have been using Excel to keep a daily track of when people are in to work, but the number of persons employed has increased and it is taking too much time to manually input data into the sheet.
I am looking at Access and I would like to know if what I want is possible.
The fields I would need are , Name , Date , Time worked(1 for a full day and 0.5 for a half) , Reason worked, and funded by(inside/outside organization)
I would like to make a template of form that has the following options.
1. The ability to select a date (possibly through a calendar selection)
2. Select one or multiple different persons from a list
3. Possibly two check boxes (full/half day) - that when selected input a 1 or 0.5 into the database
4. A text entry for reason worked.
5. Another check box for inside/outside funding that reflects the time worked in step 3 and that can be queried to see how many total days funding was given.
I am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
Hi, I am trying to figure out a way to keep record of store hours, and days open for lots of different restaurants. The only thing I could up with is the following. I'm not sure how to keep track of store hours, or even the best way to make a table for hours. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Let me just start out by saying that when it comes to Access, I ride on the "little bus", so I apologize in adavance if this is a lame question.
I have a table with two date/time fields. One for reporting the date and time of an issue start, the other for the date and time of an issue ending. I'm trying to find a way to get the number of hours between the two without including weekends. I found a module on mvps.org that excludes workdays. However it doesn't seem to work in this case. For instance, if I put in an issue start as 02/10/2006 7:30 am, and the issue end as 02/13/2006 6:45 am, it only counts it as one workday. It won't count the 13th as a workday until the time is >= 7:30 am.:confused:
I'm simply stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my DB that we use and a workflow tool, some of our work has and due date and time.If we get the complete_package our work time starts and we have X amount of time to complete our work. This is something i worked on but set it aside, now i am coming back to try and fine tune this so it returns a more accurate value.
So if we receive and [Date_Complete_Package_Received] at 09/13/2014 09:00:00 AM and based on the work being done we have 5 hours to complete the work, then the [Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE] would be 09/13/2014 02:00:00 AM. That part is simple and i have coding that does that just fine. [SLA_Time] is where it gets the amount of time allotted, we have 5,10,12,14,and 16 hours depending on what is being done.
This is done on AfterUpdate of a field on one of my forms and it works the way it is but what i need is to be able to run this through my Workhours Function so i am not getting values that our in off hours.The following doesn't work i know i can't use the Workhours function with the DateAdd but this is just to show what i am trying to do.
Im fairly new to MS Access and have recently created a simple database to track the details of people in my department.
The database is on a shared drive and the idea was that when the details of the individual change, they open the database themselves and edit the appropiate field.
However, is it possible to track the changes that people make over a certain period (ie every month).
I am new in Access 2010 and need table design schema. I am creating a database to track budget changes within our organizations.
1. We have 3 division (West, East and Central). 2. Each division will have 5 Organizations (Office, Campus, Operations, IT and HR) 3. Each Organizations will have multiple sub-organizations 4. The budget start with the sub-organizations - which is break down by cost center and sub cost center.
Trying to modify this calendar database to track employee leave. I need the calendar form (frmCalendar) to show all employee leave on the calendar using the "Show All" command button on click event. This works if I specify a uID (UserID from employee table) in the code, but only for that specific employee. I need all employees at the same time up on the calendar so I can see if there is more than one employee off on any given day.
Events or leave is populated on the form through "Private Sub DisplayEvents" and the mdlCalendar module.
I'm developing a database that tracks monthly metrics of employees. These employee are at several different locations.
Here's what I would like:
A table of the employees and their location.
A table of the metrics.
A form that you can select an employee and it would autofill the location and then you could fill out the metrics. the ability to change an employee's location without it effecting past records.
A report, by month and location of the employee's metrics. (pretty sure I can do this on my own, just can't get to this point.)
I've tried to use a auto lookup query but that then changes the employees location on past records.
I am attempting to develop a DB to track hardware assets, e.g., servers, switches, storage devices, etc... I am at the very beginning of the development/design process. I haven't gone beyond the paper stage yet. I am trying to figure out how I would set up the main Asset table so that when I put in a particular vendor, the model field will list models only for that specific vendor. i.e., when I put in IBM in the Vendor field I will only see IBM models in a drop down for the Vendor_Model field.
I'm pretty sure this will involve a Lookup field. But, how do I restrict the lookup of models. Would that be with a query?
I can use barcode scanning to track items through the process, on the condition that the relevant field on a form is highlighted.
The issue is I want the scanning/tracking with wireless scanners to be going on in the background while an operator can use the other functions of the database.
I'm thinking the solution is two computers, one to run the barcode scanning & tracking the other for the rest of the database functions. The problem is we only have one work PC and getting money for a new PC will be like pulling teeth.
I run a soccer league where we track players attendance for each game. I currently do it on a spreadsheet where each game date is a column and each player is a row. We also track which team they play on at each game (they can play on different teams different weeks). I currently have a second tab in the spreadsheet to record which team a person plays on each week.
Setting up a table of fields for this is relatively easy. The problem comes to data entry. I want to be able to visually see the data like I can in a spreadsheet (names in rows, dates in columns, intersections containing either team name or whether attended) and whilst a cross-tab query gives me the layout, I cannot input data in a cross-tab query.
I'm working on a utilization database and pulling Excel data from Cognos 8. I use Access formulas to separate hours and minutes because I want to use time (.30, .45 (minutes)) instead of quarterly increments (.25, .50). I've successfully segregated hours, because I also have to turn days into hours. When I try to calculate out a column just for minutes, my formula keeps the number of days and I don't know how to fix it so the column just shows the minutes.
An example is a job has a decimal time of 2.02083333, which when done correctly is 48 hours and 30 minutes. I get the 48 hours correct, but the minutes shows as 2.30 instead of 0.30. That inflates the total job time to 50.30. This is the calculation currently in my database to pull out minutes:
Minutes: Int(([Min]60)24) & "." & Format([Min] Mod 60,"00").
I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?
Access Query. I am creating a time sheet / pay roll database and I want to be able to get a total of the daily hours in a query.
For example I have 'Mon Start' and 'Mon Finish' for Mondays in/out times and I have a 'Mon Total' which gives me the total hours worked for Monday.
The problem I have is that Mon Total only works if the hours are say between 07:00 and 17:00, anything after midnight (00:00) like 21:00 to 07:00 and 'Mon Total' goes crazy !!
At the moment 'Mon Total' is the result of CDate 'Mon Finish' - 'Mon Start' (bit rough I know).
I am trying to create a database that keeps track of deficiencies in various logs and reviews of the logs. Each log is required to be reviewed by two individuals (determined by their title) everyday. I am trying to make the review table populate with a required review daily and then when the supervisor does his review he will update a checkbox to indicate that the review is complete. I would then query and update the calendar for which supervisors are still required to perform log reviews.
I need a database that will contain employee names and three job titles they will choose.
When a Job comes open I want to search the entire database and pull together a report that will show every employee that has chosen that job as one of his her three choices sorted by hire date.
I also would like a seperate table with the job titles and position codes that can be filled in automaticaly on the main form by typing the position code.
I have a database started with some of this but I can't get it to work right! First I haven't got a clue how to make the job choice combo boxes link to the three textboxes on the form where the job titles chosen will be displayed.
I'm sorry if my thread is in wrong section, cause I'm first time on this great forum :(! I hope you'll undrestand me ;)
My problem is with my database for my coffee bar, man who made database is still, and I don't have somebody to repair my database unfourtanetly :(
I formatted my C:, cause I installed new OS Windows XP PR SP2, and everything is deleted, but I save this .mdb file, but I don't have instalation CD for this program, cause man who installed me this database didn't give me instalation file :(!
And I saved this .mdb file, and now I try to run this POS.mdb,I can open "POS KASA" in english POS CASH, and I see articles - (ARTIKLI), and value of them it account values of them, just program doesn't count for me like before "sume" or "total" of EX. one count, for example coca cola 2.5 KM, fanta 2.5 KM = 5 KM, and now he doesn't count sume - total in program total is "UKUPNO", if somebody to know to repair this, or something another what is importing to work this database like before, please help me, database is on bosnian, if you need translating just ask me, cause I don't know to edit this file, and to have access to change words :(!
1'st colone in program interface (bosnian - english)
Sifarnici -something like codes
Artikli = Articles Ulazi = Inputs Storno racuna = storno count Pregled storno racuna = review storno count
2-nd colone in program interface
Dokumenti - Documents
POS kasa = POS cash register Dnevni promet = daily exchange Trenutni saldo kase = current saldo of cash register
3-rd colone in program interface Reports
Printanje prometa po broju = Printing exchange by number Printanje prometa od datuma do datuma = Printing exchange from date to date Printanje trenutnog prometa = Printing current exchange
IZLAZ = EXIT :)
Actually for me the most important is POS CASH REGISTER, cause it doesn't count total value of one count , total = ukupno doesn't work, sume doesn't work, and I can't give on my guests count, and I have problem with inspection cause I don't have counts :(, please help me and if you can repair this; IN ADVANCE TNX MUCH!
Greetings to all, from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegowina!
I'm sorry really on my bad english, and I hope you'll understand me :(!
I am trying to take a string from an input box and place it in a table. I was told to use ado. I have tried but it seems to have problems with Access Data Projects. see http://databaseadvisors.com/pipermail/accessd/2003-April/005252.html Does anyone know how to get this to work in an .adp database?
Goal: : To improve an application's performance by basing sub forms and combo
The application has a front and back-end. There is no SQL server involved. I use a module for, seeking out the back-end and automatically linking to the back-end in order that I might be able to provide updates. This has worked for me since first setting everything up.
First let me define what I mean by, “sub form” as to how I am designing my application. I have a number of, what I call, “main (unbound) forms” that are used to open up separate application modules. Each module contains a number of hyperlinks to each of the other application modules. Also, each main form (application module) contains a tab form with bound forms. Therefore, I am calling these lower level bound forms, sub forms and basing them on query files instead of tables. Many of the tables have fields for collecting information across a second form. I did not want to bring back all the fields when they are used in any of the two are three forms bound with the same table.
Problem: When I base either a main form or a sub-form on a query, that particular front-end query form no longer links to the back-end database table via a query file whenever I import everything g into a new/fresh version of the front-end application. Whnever I open one of the query files via the form, I get an error message in each of the fields indicating it can't fine the field even though the table is listed with all the fields. No, I do not have the same problem with forms based on tables.
I suspect that my problem is in what I am calling a main and sub form; and that the main form is really the first level bound form and never the top unbound form if one is used. I have a lot of forms. I just wanted to get some feedback on my suspicions or find out what else could be the source of my problem before re-doing everything.
I am facing disaster after two months of solid work on this database, the deadline is the morning of the 25th and just when i thought i had got it all working i then put the main bulk of the data into the database and the main search query won't work, it freezes and ends with 'invalid argument', when its the same argument as before when there was less data in it. also the relationships window is acting somewhat strangely, i cant seem to move the tables around within it, this is the same for any databases on my computer (im guessing this could be something to do with my Access on my computer)...
A quick note about the search function. it runs three queries dependent on each other, the master query runs of a sub query which runs off an inititial query (this was found to be a very good way of dealing with null values in the database). two of the the tables it runs off is a one to many relationship with the main table so not all contacts will have that variable, but i don't see why this would affect the query. in short the first query in the sequence searches for a status of a contact, then the second uses these results to search for a sub status then the final query searches for publications contacts want from the sub status query. the three tables it runs from are contacts, status(which includes substatus) and publications.
well, it really is the 11th hour here, quarter past the 11th hour to be honest. short of throwing my computer out the window and running off to a tropical island does anyone have any ideas....????
I am currently exploring the possibility of adding another element to our Database.
Each of our courses has a scheme of work associated with it, and this is completed on a daily basis by the tutor for each student. These are currently just Word documents we print out.
Example : I already have provided provision for recording attendance in the database, see below, (it may look a bit strange, but our training is ad-hoc so slightly different requirements than a college for example).
Is there way a to get this audit trail module to work with a form in Datasheet view? It works fine with a form in Single Form view; I can open the table where the audits are saved and everything looks good. But when implemented on a form in datasheet view, nothing happens. I don't get any errors and nothing is saved to the audit table.
Link : [URL] ....
Here's the vba code:
Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String) On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rsT As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control Dim datTimeCheck As Date Dim strUserID As String
[Code] ...
You call it in the BeforeUpdate event like so:
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) 'Track all changes made to the record If Me.NewRecord Then Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "NEW") Else Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "EDIT") End If End Sub
I 'm trying to create a database for tracking time off from work and print a weekly roster. I have built several databases in Access 2003 and have now transitioned to 2010 and it is seems to be going well. My past databases have been rather simple data in data out not really that big of a deal. However on this database they need a report that will show them a week view that shows them all the employees regular days off and any additional time off they have schedule in that week.
I have an employee info table that has employee basic info, Emp name, Emp number, Work Week code (which identifies which days off the employee has) Hire Dates (for seniority sorting) and then I have 7 fields listed as D1, D2, D3 and so on until D7 (I will try to explain these fields later).
I have another table (Time Requests) that has 3 fields, Date, Emp number, and Time code (which identifies why they are off work or unavailable to be assigned).
The last table I will refer to has 7 fields, they are Date1, Date2, Date3, Date4, Date,5 Date6, Date7
I now have a form. This form has the 7, fields Date1, Date2.... Date7.
On my form Date1 field is updated by a manager with a date that is a Sunday then Date2 = [Date1]+1,Date3 = [Date1]+2 and so on until I have all 7 fields showing dates from Sunday - Saturday.These fields are lined across the top in a vertical direction positioned above a subform of the employee info table. So directly below the 7 Date fields are the D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 fields then to the right is the Emp name and Emp number, This gives me a Week view of who is working.
I have been able to get the D1, D2.. fields to show their respective Work Week codes by writing very simple If Then statements . So here is where I AM STUCK, When I am showing this week view how do I get D1 - D7 to identify what date they are supposed to be in reference to Date1 - Date7 then compare themselves to the table Time Requests to see if they have a match and then set the value of D1, D2 . to the Time code in that table. D1 - D7 need to auto populate and do this for about 50 employees.
