Getting Server/PC Time
Jan 31, 2006
Hi,
This is the first tim here, hope to find what I am looking for :D
I am developing a small form in MS Access for recording attendence. I made a form and a buton which get the time and store it in a table.
The problem happens when a user change the his computer time and click the button, the new time will be recorded.
The question is how to fix the time or get the time from a centeral computer or server?
Note the DB will be placed on a shared PC or on a server in the LAN.
Thanks,

Select doc_date from dbo.data
where doc_date> 'select OpeningDate from dbo.period'
both doc_date and opening date have the same format
but the error will still appear as follows:
"Conversion failed when converting date and / or time from character string."

I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?

I have a database that stores information for lab testing. Each time a tech does a "step" in the test process he logs it in the table, using an input form. There are different categories, for example preparation, testing, analysis, etc, and each of those steps take time. I have the form autopopulate the date and time with NOW() evertime the form is updated. What i want to do is calculate the time it takes to do each in days. I can easily get how many days it was from now since they logged the test, =NOW()-TestDateTime. What I want to do is get the number of days it took to do each step, ie the number of days between each event. Is there a way to do this?

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
[ShiftLength] =DateDiff("n", [PunchIn],[PunchOut]) = 572 minutes.
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 a date/time text field on a form with the General Date format and a combo box next to it that has sequencial times as the row source (IE. 12:45 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM, ETC.) When the user chooses a time in the combo box, I want the time portion of the text box to be updated with the chosen time in the combo. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it right.

I have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.

I have a database consisting of two tables. One is "articles" and the other is "tasks". To put it simply, I would like to find how much time the article spends in tasks, but one article can have many tasks, and they often (but not always) overlap. Tasks have a start and end date field.

Hi,
Wonder if someone can help please. I'm quite new to Access so please bear with me.
I have a data field in my database consisting of both a date and time.
I then have a form containing two fields where the user can type a 'To' and 'From' date to extract the records that they are interested in. The query behind this uses the 'Between[Enter The Date] And [Enter The Date]' coding.
The problem is that because the field contains a time it doesn't return any records when I run the query.
Can anyone offer a bit of guidance on how I could ignore the time part of the field perhaps by adapting the above.
Many thanks
Chris

Hi all, I havent' been around in a while (toddler, work, getting my BS degree and new baby coming in a week and a half) so I am hopefully not asking a previously posted question.
I'm suspecting my new work isn't accurately paying for the hours worked. I made a quick simple DB where I input my punch times in short time format. There's the typical In, Out for Lunch, In from Lunch, and Out. I've got it correctly adding the times so that it reports the total hours worked per day, though, in order for it to display correctly, that total is in short time as well.
The problem is, when I group a week together, as soon as the sum of the totals reaches 24 or more, it goes back to 0, as it's on the idea that there's only 24 hours in a day.
Hopefully, it's just a formatting issue or is there a function to convert the times (or just the sum) to number of hours?
Thanks and Happy New Year to all.
-Jim

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 need a Select Query to display data on a form. When an order is appended to my table the field named Printed is updated with the time it was appended. When my form opens it needs to display the field Printed and a field I call MinutesFromPrint. This field needs to display the total minutes elapsed from the time in the Printed field to the current time. My expression is not working.
MinutesFromPrint: DateDiff("n",[Printed],Now())
Here are a couple of samples of my results when I run the query at 7:49 A.M.:
Printed MinutesFromPrint
2:35 60366554
5:07 60366402

I have a column/field named [DateTaken] which contains test dates and times in the same cell. I am needing to find those with a test time less than 2:30 pm or <14:30pm.
data looks like this:
8/22/13 4:23 PM
1/29/14 12:21 PM
1/28/14 3:27 PM
8/26/13 4:27 PM
[code]....
this is what I have come up with to extract the time component of data set so that I can then later, sort it by the time in a query.
JustTime: TimeValue([YourField])
JustTime: ("hh:mm",([DateTaken])) and or ("hh:mm",[DateTaken])
I get either invalid operator or invalid syntax errors trying both of these.

Using A2002 or A2003, trying to convert an app from Jet to SqlServer
i am using DAO rather than ADO
this statement causes an error
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants", , dbSeeChanges)
the error is
error 3622 - must use dbseechanges on a sql server table with identitiy bit set
alternatively
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants", dbOpenDynamic)
produces error 3001 - invalid argument
(Note: i've got another app, in A97 that works with sql server tables without any additional parameters )
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants") works in A97
------------------
any idea what do i need to do please

Hi. hope you can understand my english.
I have 2 SQL Servers.
Is there some way to set to which sql server connect the .adp (or .ade) via code??
Now I have 2 sql servers (development and production).. but soon I will have more server at production in different cities. All SQL Servers have different names. Same databases names but the servername are all different.
So I have to configure the connection of the .ade in the the development server. Then when I want to send and upgrade to one of my clients, I have to go to his city and manually reconfigure the .ade to connect to his SQL Server.
This problem would be solved if all SQL Servers had the same name, but this is not my case.
It would be nice to have a config.ini file or something like that where the .ade could read the name of the server to connect to.
Is it possible to implement something like this.
Thanks in advance.

I've never dealt with SQL Server, and have no working knowledge of it. Is it possible to upsize my db without it? The server that we have uses Windows 2000 Server as it's OS, would this be capable of housing an upsized db? I was tols that MSDE is only capable of about 15 concurrent users, and I will be having +-100 concurrent users on this particular db. Is there another option?

Hi guys, its been awhile. I inherited a database thats an MDB and I need to get it on to sql server but I am having problem with this query, can anyone help please. Its suppose to give you the month and year when you click on it, you just put that in and up come the results on a query or report, now I have something similar to this but the code is very different.
SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$([Main Table].Date,'yyyy') AS [Date By Year], [Main Table].[Violation Type], Sum([Main Table].Loss) AS [Sum Of Loss], Count([Main Table].[Violation Type]) AS [CountOfViolation Type]
FROM [Main Table]
GROUP BY Format$([Main Table].Date,'yyyy'), [Main Table].[Violation Type], Year([Main Table].Date)
HAVING (((Year([Main Table].[Date]))=[Please Enter the Year]));
This gives them a dialog box which ask them for month and year and they enter it in and they get a generated report or form which gives them their results. But when I transfer this to SQL it gives me error message cause Jet SQL and SQL Server dont exatly speak the same language, I mean SQL server doesnt know what Format$ is I guess thats something ACCess comes up with on its own or something, I dont know. HELP PLEASE!!??

I've downloaded and installed the new SQL server 2005 express edition CTD (June ed.) along with the Express Manager.
How do i get an access database into SQL server?
Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?
i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...
do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?
I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...
I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....
Please help me...

I have A db that links to a SQL Server table via an odbc connection. The problem is that I have to set up the odbc datasource on each machine that needs to run the db. Can I set up an ADO connection to the table and use that connection as a record source through out the app to drive forms , reports, etc? (And this would eliminate the need to set up and odbc connection to the table on each machine...) :confused: :confused:
