ok.. i am storing CD info in a database, including track lengths, these are obviously in minutes and seconds.. I cant use short time because that is hours and minutes, which means any track longer than 24 minutes doesnt work.. i cant simply use text with an input mask because i want to be able to calculate the total length of the CD by adding the track lengths together.. if i use Long Time it also shows hours, which will confuse the user, and create more scope for errors.. any suggestions? I hope I am making sense here.. thanks for any suggestions :D
Here's one that I'm having difficulty on. I know just enough about code to completely confuse myself, so if you answer this, please explain in detail. I have a training database, in which a portion of it stores the scores of events of a physical fitness test. Part of this test is a times 3 mile run. I need to calculate a point value for the submitted time, but here's my dilema...If I use the time/date feature it accepts the input as hh:mm, and will not let a time of more than 24 minutes be entered, since it sees this as 2400, or midnight in military time. I need the data to be inputed as mm:ss, and I have another text box that accepts this info and converts it to a point value. I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks in advance.
I am what you would consider an extreme newcommer to Access. I used to use FileMaker as my database app. I have a bunch of data in an excel workbook that now needs to be converted to DB and I want to use Access.
I have the form set up and I have a bunch of time fields entered in minutes and seconds. They show up as 12:05:32 AM. I want this to display only as minutes and seconds (5:32) drop the hours and am. Is there a mask I can use or how would I approach this?
I am writing an Access program to compile Cell phone billing information for my company that has around 60 phones. I am entering the detail information and reporting on it. The problem I am having is with the minutes and seconds calculations. For instance employee A might have accumulated 630:59 minutes for the current month and employee B might have 250:12 minutes (Mins Secs) for the current month and so on. I want to be able to enter these amounts in a feild and then be able to sum them. Can you tell me how to format the field that the detail minutes will be entered into. I have been looking on the net for hours for a solution. Also I want the sumation to be formated in minutes not hours. Example
630:59 540:12
Would = 1171:11 If this is possible, what would be the field data type and format.
Basically, I get daily reports from the client and the AHT and ACW values come in seconds. I've recently added code to the query changing the data to nn:ss which works perfectly. Below is some info:
tblTelephony [AgentName] [Calls] (number of calls answered) [AHT] (in seconds) [ACW] (in seconds)
[Code] ....
The above code works very well, where I'm stuck is in the attempt to average the fields [AHTMinSec] & [ACWMinSec] by Agent in a report.
Using [AHTMinSec] as an example:
I have the daily values for each agent [AHTMinSec] in the detail, Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the Agent group footer showing each agent's average, Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the Team group footer showing team averages and Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the report footer showing the campaign average including all teams. When I run the report the details are hidden providing each agent's average, the team average, and the campaign average.
The report worked just fine until I converted to minutes with the above code. Is there a reason that I'm getting an error stating that the calculation is too complex? I've done enough research to determine that the db can't Sum in order to average...
One of the directors of the company I work for would like to have a large screen display the current status of jobs that my database stores. To cut a long story short the table he is interested in is called tblJobsLogging and is updated manually by our laboratory on a regular basis as jobs are completed using a form linked to a query in turn linked to that table.
Think fast food chain order monitor. He wants to be able to look up from his desk and see the progress directly in front of him at any point.
Is there any way that I can have an access form displaying these records in a datasheet view which continuously refreshes every X seconds / minutes or updates as a record is updated in the underlying table?
I am using the calender control 11.0. By this calender I can only set the date year, month and day. I can not set the clock time:Hours, minutes and seconds. Is there a calender that enables me to set the date in the format:dd-mm-yyyy HH:MM:SS, means day,month,year Hour:Minutes:Seconds.
Basically I have a table setup where Time Fields are stored. What I need to do is in a Query, have the difference of two Time Fields calculated, and then displayed on a Report. Here's what I have so far...
All that works fine and shows up on the report, except for the fact that the time is showed in straight minutes, so for a difference of 1:30 minutes, it just shows 90 minutes. I need to make it so that on the report in the Difference Time Text Box, it's showed as 1:30 instead of 90.
I tried putting the following in the Control Source for the Difference Time Text Box on the report, but it returns an error.
=[Difference Time] 60 & Format([Difference Time] Mod 60, ":00")
I have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21 Jones 5:32 James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).
I know it breaks all the rules to store a calculated field on a table, but I've painted myself into a corner with the way I built this particular database, not good, I have repeating groups and basically the whole database is built this way. I need one form to store a calculated value on a table to solve a problem on a report that encapsulates the total of all the repeating groups. Before you start the lecture, I know I messed up, but this is way to far down the road to start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently in the process of creating an Employee Database. I have a 'staff information' table with several fields, one of which is a 'contracted hours field'. I have a spreadsheet linked to this database and therefore require this field to be formatted correctly in hours and minutes. For example...I wish to store a decimal time of 37.5 as 37:30.
I am facing an issue with an access table.I have a field named "Contact Dates" , supposedly that field will store in a drop down list all the dates that the contact with the related company was made, how can I store it ? I am using in the current moment a memo data type to store the data and a comma for splitting them. How to create a drop down list for storing and displaying all the recorded dates and recording all the new data values as date format.
I have been struggling with this and would appreciate any help. It sounds so simple!!! I have 4 fields (Unit Price 1, Unit Price 2, Unit Price 3, Unit Price 4) in a Orders table that I want to add together and store in a 5th field (Sub Total) in the same table using a form. I am having problems with the sum and I am unsure how to get it to show in the Sub Total box in the form as well as the table. Thanks for your help!!
I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?
I am running an Access Database for a large uk companys call centre.. I use many diffrent systems which allow me to show our centres productivity...
I have hit a wall
When i first developed the DB i used the time formatting hh:mm:ss but later down the line i found if you *the time by 86400 it converts the hh:mm:ss into a workable seconds format....
One of my old extracts that i feedinto the DB are in the old format therefor i do this calculation within an access query which *the time by 86400
however i have found an probelm.. if the time is over 24hrs it seems to double the time there or there abouts in seeconds
example
01/01/1900 01:42:00 which is basically 25 hrs should be around 92520 seconds
when is do this calculation in an access query it is coming out 178920 all the other times are correct so this rules out how i link 2 querys ....
I have a table called welding, I want to create a user friendly form for input. The database ultimately wants to go on share point so I am building it in the web database option.
One of the fields is called location, if the location is 'Field' I want 10 more fields to appear for data entry such as weld reason, rail temperature etc . If the location is 'Depot' I want these fields to be hidden as they aren't relevant.how would I do this?
I am trying to run graph on a report from query but what's happening is query shows name but report on graph shows ID'S of the field .
Below is my query
SELECT tblMainTWTTPSheet.txtRootCause, Count(tblMainTWTTPSheet.txtRootCause) AS CountOftxtRootCause FROM tblMainTWTTPSheet GROUP BY tblMainTWTTPSheet.txtRootCause, tblMainTWTTPSheet.Date HAVING (((tblMainTWTTPSheet.txtRootCause) Is Not Null) AND ((Count(tblMainTWTTPSheet.txtRootCause)) Is Not Null) AND ((tblMainTWTTPSheet.Date) Between [Forms]![frmStratificationOfRootCauses]![startDate] And [Forms]![frmStratificationOfRootCauses]![endDate]));
My bound column on main menu form and back end table is 1
I have an Access application that calculates elapsed time to the second. It works fine with a format of hh:nn:ss and input mask 00:00:00. Now the requirement has changed and I am required to do these calculations to the tenth of a second. As far as I can see Access doesn't accommodate split seconds. I realize I could put the split second time into another integer field but this makes calculations complex.
This must have been answered before, but I can't find it by searching so sorry for the dumb question.
I input a time in hours and minutes in a field with a Short Time format. I would like then to convert this to seconds in a field with a number format so that I can total the seconds and then add them to the results of a calculated DateDiff control to get the grand total of time spent on a project.
I want to call commandbutton1,2,3 after every 10 seconds automatically but following code doesn't do that.
Code: Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 'Update the Barcodes printed today Call CommandButton1_Click 'Update batches to be scanned / batches scanned today Call CommandButton3_Click 'Update files batched and counted today Call CommandButton2_Click Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:00"), "GoToSub" End Sub
I am currently working on a database where my source data has the times in military format which includes the seconds; 18:45:30. All my time fields are set to data/time and format is Short Time. The Short Time format gives me military time but only down to the minute. I need to include the seconds into my time fields. I tried creating an input mask but it converts it to standard time.
how I can show military time down to the seconds as in my example above?
