General :: Linking A Set Of Dates For A Time Sheet
Jul 17, 2013
The project I am currently working on requires me to build a database for checking off if a certain person has submitted a time sheet for a certain date. I have a table for the dates that has the fields "date" and "Submitted time sheet?". The time sheet field is a checkbox.
I also have a table for employees with fields "employee last name", "employee first name" and "location".What I want to know is how to link each employee with the dates and whether or not they submitted a time sheet.
I'm trying to get a database that can track our employee's hours worked. I have come up with the attached file but it doesn't work right.....If someone clocks in at 6:57 am and clocks out at 7:00 pm it says we should pay them for 13 hour and not 12. I need it to round on the quarter hour so if they clock in at 6:45 am and clock out at 7:00 pm it should pay them for 12 hours. We have people that work 24 hour shifts on a regular basis so I think I have that figured out in the the query I have but I'm not 100% sure.......and I need it to work right.
I have a database that contains all the employees info. and I wonder about the following small cut that represent the monthly Time Sheet of an employee .. How can I implement it ?
I have a datasheet subform on my TimeSheet for for my volunteer database. What kind of code do I need for a command button to "punch out" a volunteer. TimeIn is easy, I just set the default value to Now(), but I don't know how to do that with the the TimeOut.
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).
How do I mod the code to find the last 'used' row in the sheet?
The sheet is automatically generated daily, so I can't change anything in that area. It's always 2000 rows long and usually only has around 1100-1200 rows of data.
It's just that I do a for loop later on in my code for 1 to Lastrows and would like it as exact as I can.
My question is in Access 2010 I am currently in the property sheet at a combo list i just added to a form to be more precise with the data the user will look for. My question is I know I have to be in Control source in order for the combo box to select the data that I entered from the table. When i click the arrow the drop list is empty and then when I click the elipses (three dots) it takes me into expression builder, so i am confused on what I should do to select the field I want the combo box to focus on.
I have created a DB to store my students records, eg: Student Number, English Name, Chinese Name, Birthdate, Class Number, Age, and exam scores, I also have a photo frame to display the students photo.
In the data sheet I have an ole object field where I add the photos, the thing is it means I need to manually add this to the data sheet, whereas I can add all the other details directly from the form "Add New Record" and also search, delete or edit all from the form.
I have searched and searched but I cannot find any info that accurately explains how I may add the photos to the c where I have placed a button "Add Photo". I assume I need to create a macro and assign it to the button (on click) then this would need to open a search file location box where I can find the photo and select it to be added to the file.
The point is I wish to be able to do all the adding, deleting and editing from within the form and not have to enter into the data sheet at all.
I recently made a database that we will use to allocate appointments between a team of up to 30 in 2 different sites. I have tested it with 10 people in the same site using it and have had no issues so far.
One of our managers wants to know whether it is likely to cause issues with network usage/congestion. When we introduce it to the other site. I told her it is unlikely, but went to our IT department for their opinion. I got a reply simply stating that Access is not intended for this sort of task, and is only designed to have a couple of people using it at a time.
I'd like a second opinion, because I don't think that answer is even close to correct. I'll describe briefly how it works and what our set up is.
The database has 2 tables, one that stores the details of the clients we call (7 fields), and another that logs each contact attempt (6 field) and ensures no 2 users get the same entry. I have split the database, with the backend saved on one of our networked drives, and the frontend will be distributed in an email. (at present it is just an unsplit database stored on a network drive, but I don't think this will work well when 2 different sites are using it).
I think data throughput will be minimal, but I don't know how I'd go about checking that. Would you expect any issues with this being used by 30 people simultaneously?
the attached zip file has a mockdown version of my database it should allow you to see my problem. The premise is to link a picture(s) to a serial number. There are the possiblities of having more then one picture per serial number. I am getting an error stating "Microsoft Office Access can't fine the form 'frmPicExample' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code."
Can someone help to link the example pictures to the correct serial number. And the serial numbers that do not have a picture to read no picture for the serial number.
I created a new field as a text box, converted it to Combo box, then the Values are pulled from a query and all that works fine.
I have a form that opens and displays these Fields in a Data Sheet view and the new Combo box doesn't drop down and is flagged as a text box in the property bar but no way to change it??
I need the drop down like the other Category field I have, that works but this one doesn't.
See screen shot.
You can see in the Category field, there is a Drop down, but in Category II there is not, even though this is a drop down field. - BUT in this data sheet view it doesn't show it as a drop down.
Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM [PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
I have linked a Shared Calendar from MS Outlook in MS Access. The fields that I need which are Appointment/Meeting Date and Time are not there, only creation date/time. Is there anyway for me to get the Appointment/Meeting Date and Time from Outlook into the table?
How can I make a query that will take a field that I already have set to record the last contact date and check it against today's date to give me the span between the two?
Dear all,in my table I have the following fields:- fldstartdate- fldstarttime- fldenddate- fldendtimeCan I calculate the time that is between those variables using an expression?fldenddate.fldendtime - fldstartdate.fldstarttime = "x days and x minutes"Kind regards,Hans B.
I have attached a really simple db where in a query I'm trying to determine the elapsed time between A sent date and a received date. Can some tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks..
The below function returns correct time difference between workdays. However, it is excluding Saturday as per the code.
It is calculating 06:30 am to 22:00 pm time for weekdays but I also want it to calculate the time from 10:00 to 13:30 on a Saturday.
I am trying to use the NetworkMinutes function to achieve this. However, there is a problem getting the time for Saturday.
Code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit '--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Procedure : NetWorkMinutes ' Author : Rod ' Date : 13/12/2012 ' Purpose : Returns the number of work minutes between two date-time arguments.
I have searched the forum for this answer but no luck. :(
I'm trying to calculate the amount of WORKING time between two dates in an Access database. At the moment i am just subtracting one date from another but this gives me all of the time in between including weekends and evenings.
I need this time to be calculated in hours.
In Excel i know there is a NETWORKINGDAYS function which does something similar but with days rather than hours.
At least if i could get the working days i could then convert it into hours.
The Database is coming along nicely now, but in need of guidice with this one:
On the main table of the contacts I have what you could call a date of 01/01/06 and a combo box next or below that that I select what risk levels to asign the user.
Each user would have a no of year review based on the risk level: High = 1 Year Med = 2 Years Low = 3 Years.
There is another date box that is blank at the moment, what I am looking for query wise or another way is on change/update the risk level is to add the start start in this case 01/01/06 (if user is Med Risk - then add 2 years) and adding risk level giving me a new date of 01/01/08 in the blank date box (this option will make the main table update.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this one?
We are collecting data from client files that have multiple dates (start_date, event1_date, event2_date, end_date.) For client protection purposes, we are absolutely not allowed to leave the facility with the actual dates. However, we want to know how many days have passed between each event. I thought about having the data collectors enter each date, have a calculated field store the time between dates, and then have the actual dates cleared when the record is saved or when the person moves to the next record.
