I need to develope a system that will allow for employees to login and imput their "time card". I found one post on here about something similar, but it didn't give much info. I am very very new to Access so please give info in simple terms or very well explained. I am hoping that I can have a login and password so employees can't access eachothers time card. All it will need to track is
Date
Type of work
Hours
Rate
Comments
I am hoping that this is going to be an easy task, but I need some help. Anyone have any ideas or directions... or even better know where I could just download a template.
Thanks,
Chrissy
i'm try to create a database to record staff sign in and out times and to get reports but i cannot for the life of me get it working after many many efforts. can any one help me?
I am trying to create an Access database where I can let the employees enter their time-in and time-out, at the end of their shift. I already created this function working, but running into another issue. Everyday, employees need to enter a break. Sometimes they take a break and sometimes they don't, if they work shorter hours. Thus, the break is not a default 30min and has to be enterd by the employee.
Below is the code I have to calculate the total hour:
txtCalcTime has the below code in control source: =Int([CalcTime]/60) & ":" & Int([CalcTime] Mod 60)
Control source for this form "FrmTimes" property, in which Txtcalctime resides:
QryTimes "QryTimes" query has the code below: SELECT TimeID, TimeIn, TimeOut, Brake, DateID, DateDiff("n",[TimeIn],[TimeOut]) AS CalcTime FROM EmpTimes;
This shows the total number of hours worked. But how can I make it to substract the break time entered by the employee in "txtbreak" on FrmTimes
I am currently creating a DB for a Customer Service team so management can keep track of who is skilled in what area, sick days, holidays etc. I have created three tables so far as follows:
EmployeeT with a primary key 'EmployeeID'
SickT with a primary key of 'SickID' and a foreign key of 'EmployeeID' linking to the EmployeeT (Reason behind this is that I may have multiple records for one Employee, meaning I would need a unique identifier)
SkillT with a primary key of 'EmployeeID' linking into the EmployeeT (Only possible to have one skill record linked to one employee)
Set up relationships as follows:
One EmployeeT to one SkillT One EmployeeT to many SickT
I then created a blank form and used Tab Control.
On the first page I was able to populate the page with all the Employee info. On the second page I was able to populate with all the skills relevant to the initial employee.
Then I tried populating sick records relating to the employee on a third page, but that's a no go. I was considering putting a subform on this page, but I wouldn't know where to even start with that.
I have a form that displays the system date and time for every entry. When the data gets stored in the table, the date and time do not get stored. How can i save the date and time with all the other information.
Also, everyday when i open the form, it shows me all the data from the previous day but the date for all that data has changed to taday. I want that everyday when i open the form, it should be blank and all data from the previous day must be stored in the table along with the date and time.
I have a time tracking system where users can clock in and clock out. I want to have an error message when they clock in and then accidently clock in again. Therefore, they can only clock out after they have clocked in. The data goes into the table called "Timeclock Table". The fields in that table are SSN, Clock-In, Clock-Out, and TimeStamp. the clock in and clock out are check boxes. can you guys help me??????
I'm trying to find a solution to a problem. Is there any way using VBA to generate a random number, based off the current system date and time? The theory is that a random number seeded by the system date/time will be truly unique and the possiblity of it ever occuring again will be nearly nil.
Or is there a better way to create unique ID's (such as member ID's, or something similiar) based off the system date/time that can be used as a primary key in a relational db.
I need a query run that brings up a list of customers that need maintence after 6 months after their last maintence service. As soon as you open the DB, the event/query runs and if there are any customers past due to display them. And if there are none, to not even show the query at all.
I have very little experience with timers and if/then statements and don't know how to set this up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Is there some kind of Time picker function , i can see the date picker however i am using a booking system and have a field named 'time of booking' and i need something that can dump the exact system/online time into the field.
I have an Access 2010 application running on Win 7 Pro which connects to a Back End SQL Server database. I am trying to get Access to synchronise the client pc system date & time with the Sql server date and time. Please note, the date/time does not necessarily have to be correct, it just has to be consistent between the server and all the pcs running the Access application.
I have tried two methods as follows. But both only work if Access with Administrator privileges, which isn't really practical.
Method 1:
Code: Dim MyDateTime As Date 'Some Code here to get MyDateTime If MsgBox("Change date & time to:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & MyDateTime & "?", vbYesNo, "Change") = vbYes Then Date = DateValue(MyDateTime) Time = TimeValue(MyDateTime) End If
Method 2:
Code: Private Type SYSTEMTIME wYear As Integer wMonth As Integer wDayOfWeek As Integer wDay As Integer
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
I am trying to compare a value in my databse produced by the date() function, short date format, to one that is exactly 24 hours after the value recorded by the date() function. If the value in the database is 24 hours prior to the current date(), I need to flag a text box a diffrent color to alert the user. I am unsure on the If statement that I will need to produce this result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Mikeco555
Is it possible to use a * (Wild Card) in a pop up box for a query?
I read the previous post about pop up boxes for quires and it worked worked great! I created one for my month field
My criteria in my search fieled is a follows: 05-May 06-June 07-July 08-August etc...
As you can see someone would have to type a 08-August to get the results for August, can a wild card be used? Example 08* would return all of 08-August data. I tried it but it wouldn't return any data.
I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.
In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.
This is my plan:
When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?
second question:
If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?
Looking at creating a database that looks up records based on a number from a magnetic card. Has anyone ever come across any code that will pull the info from the serial port? I have been looking for 2 days and not able to find anything. I have the card reader but do not have any software to get the info from the serial port and my limted coding does not even come close to what I need. Any help or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I want to use a business card scanner, and use the data for my Access 2000 order database. Most card scanners, can send data to Outlook, can you go from Outlook to Access? Any advise would be appreciate it . . . THANKS!:o
I am using a criteria entry form as the source of parameters for a select query, and I am using IIF statements in the query so that if the user does not want to specify for that particular field, the search still works based on the other parameters specified. Therefore the statement I am using is;
IIf([Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account] Is Not Null,[Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account],[Data]![Customer Account]).
This works.
However for some of the criteria I want to also use wild cards, so that the user can enter just part of the data, and the relevant records will be returned. I understand that wild cards cannot be embedded into the IIF statement above.
I have tried many methods, and trawled the web for ideas, but I cannot get this to work. I either want the user to enter the wild card themselves ie "100*" returning records starting with "100", or for the query to append the wild card itself.
Ive read loads of posts about Wildcard searches but am unable to find the answer to my problem. In one of my boxes on my search form the user places in the search criteria value, this can be from A1 - A16 all the way to G16. At the moment i'm using this as my seasrch query:
[Forms]![Search]![BoxNo]
So if I put in C1 then I get all the C1's, great. If I want to wildcard then I put in Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![BoxNo] &"*", and again it works, this time it call enything with C1 in it i.e C13.
How can I adjust my query to do both, sometimes I only want the exact match othertimes I want to wildcard :confused:
I want to create a database that utilizes the user's ID card to authenticate them and tie any changes to their name.If not that way, using their stored information (SSN, or other ID) as a means of creating a username/password. I've never messed with creating different user levels in Access so this is uncharted territory for me.
I need a little help with a wild card issue, Ive looked and looked and cant spot whats wrong.
I have two forms "Requisitioner" & "Engineers", each form has a subform. These are basic search forms (unbound) that find related records in the subforms. The work is done in the query of the subform and then the form is refreshed. I have used this approach many many times without issue until now.
If the engineers form is opened "G*" is entered into the text box then all the entries beginning with "G" are found in the subform.
If the "*" is then removed from the text box leaving "G" no results are found in the subform, (Working Correctly)
Now if the "*" is added again "G*" then the subform shows all the entries beginning with "G"
Everything is good with the Engineers Form, If the same steps are made on the Requisitioners form after adding the "*" again no records are displayed.
I could change the way this works by doing a recordset find but i really want to know why this is working on one form but not on another.
I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.
I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.
Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.
Let me give you an example:
A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.
I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.
