Hello, I am in the process of creating my database and I was looking for some guidance. My goal is to manage and track clients attending our program and ultimately being able to print and individual report with that information. Example: john doe on 12/28 attended 3 groups X,Y and Z.
I have created two tables one with the client's ID, name and starting date.
The second with the groups offered, the instructors and days and times of the groups.
The third I believe should be a dated table that would have groups and all the people who attended that day. This is where I am getting confused. I am not sure how to proceed.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.
I am looking to design and create a user interface for my database. Preferably hiding the standard access interface and upon opening the database have a pop up form with buttons to direct users to forms queries.
I'm trying to create a database for our new theatre group. I've created a table for membership details (ID, Name, DOB, Address, etc.)
I want to create an attendance register - kind of the way a school register looks, so it will show on screen like a spreadsheet (names down the left-hand side, dates of the sessions across the top, and a grid for the attendance codes).
I know I could paste the membership details from Access to Excel and use a spreadsheet, but I'd like to keep it all together.
The attendance codes don't just contain present or absent, I would like to keep a record of payment 'P' or on holiday 'H' etc.
I'll keep searching and scratching my head, but any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to create an attendance application for my group of 6people, does anyone have or know where i can find any to look at. I don't even know where to begin.
Daily in and out. Keeping tabs of our vacation days/sick days. I just need to know where to begin, or need a sample for ideas in creating this. I have looked high and low. Please show me/tell me if you have any or how you did it, if you have done it before. Thanks friends!
I posted this here but didn't get any response. http://access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=114099
I am setting up a database to help me prepare codes for employees timesheets in order to upload them into our payroll software. The table structure below is just my preliminary thoughts and current ideas and I guess I'm looking for ideas on how to work with my codes.
EMPLOYEE TABLE EmpID (PK) - Employee ID # [Autonumber] Surname - Employee's surname [Text] Firstname - Employee's first name [Text]
ATTENDANCE TABLE ShiftID (PK) - Shift ID# [Autonumber] EmpID (SK) - Employee ID# [Foreign Key] Date - Date of shift [Date/Time] Start - Start time of shift [Time] Finish - Finish time of shift [Time] CostCtr - Cost centre being billed for shift. [Integer]
When employees work they are entitled to the following: * Ordinary hours (code 001) for all hours worked. * 10% penalty (code 006) for all hours worked when shift finishes after 18:00 * 12% penalty (code 007) for all hours when shift crosses midnight * 50% penalty (code 008) for hours worked on a saturday * 100% penalty (code 009) for hours worked on a sunday
The following shows data that in my Attendance table for an employee who worked shifts on the 16th (Mon), 17th (Tue), 20th (Fri), and 22nd (Sun). ShiftIDEmpIDDateStartFinishCostCtr 18443416/10/0610:0019:00 28443417/10/0610:0019:003002 38443420/10/0622:0006:003001 48443422/10/0614:0022:00 From the above data I believe I will need to make another table that contains the entitlement codes generate from each shift.
For the first shift on Monday 16/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation: CodeHoursCostCtr 0019.00 0069.00
For the second shift on Tuesday 17/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation: CodeHoursCostCtr 0019.003002 0069.003002
For the third shift on Friday 20/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation: CodeHoursCostCtr 0018.003001 'Ordinary hours worked 0078.003001 '12% penalty as shift crossed midnight hour 0086.003001 'Only worked 6 actual hours on the Saturday as 2 hours were on Friday night.
For the fourth shift on Sunday 22/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation: CodeHoursCostCtr 0018.00'Ordinary hours worked 0098.00'Hours worked on the Sunday
From that information the only data I really need to store in a table would be the totals grouped by code and cost centre. Eg., CodeHoursCostCtr 00117.00 001 8.003001 001 9.003002 006 9.00 006 9.003002 007 8.003001 008 6.003001 009 8.00 Does anyone know the best way to go about this? Should I generate a new table that links these codes to an employee? Should I make a function to calculate the codes for each day and store them in a table or make the function only sum the code totals for the week and store them in a table?
I had trouble figuring out how to 1) register a group of people for a class, 2) create a list of dates to meet for a class (which I call sessions), 3) track attendance per sessions. Having looked for templates at Microsoft, I found plenty of Excel templates, but no Access. The closest is Student Registration template, which doesn't track attendance at all. So I figured I'd make a prototype to help me understand how everything works. Since I got so much input from everyone, I figure I'd return the favor and perhap make it a sample database, especially for those who desire a spreadsheet-like data entry while maintaining a properly normalized data structure.But I would prefer that other has tested and given feedbacks on the prototype before I put this in sample database forum (if that's okay with you admins) as this is my first time and I don't want to give others bad template. So anyway, here's the prototype.Note: The database is 100% undocumented, 100% error-handling free, and 100% unsecured. Use it wisely. :)PS: The attachment will reference a extraneous library. If you are getting an error, clear the reference for MS Office 11 Web Components.PSS: I knew I forgot something: There is still unsolved problem of correcting sorting the columns in datasheet view. While the underlying query correctly sorts the recordset, it seems to be ignored entirely in datasheet. If anyone has a solution, I'm all eyes here.
I would like to build a database to keep track of tardies and absences in my dept (~70 employees).
I need Date, Name, tardy or absent,
My current table:
TblEmployees EmployeeID PK Last Name First Name Team
TblEvent EventID PK Event (Tardy or absent)
TblAttendance Date EmployeeID EventID
Is this a good structure? I need to be able to run a query that will sum the total number of tardies and divide by 6. That number will then be added to the total # of tardies. The query needs to only show the values over the last 6 months. Any help is appreciated.
I need to set up an attendance database, that has multiple statuses available for a single day.Example: employee can be present, he can have a sick leave, he can be away on training, or business trip, etc... And for some of those statuses, like business trip, i need to be able to freely enter a comment, stating where he is etc..
Anyway, the key is that this database should be able to offer a "headcount" option, and traceability for past statuses for at least a year, for every and all employees. Now i just need to set up the database tables and relationships.
I'm creating a Gym Database and need to be able to track attendance for specific classes. I need to have a system in place allowing me to do a register for attendance for each activity.
I also need to be able to calculate fees based on attendance. So if a person attended Gym 5 times in the month (£5 per session) and then Swimming 3 times in the month (£2 per session). My system should automatically calculate this based on the attendance tracking.
Also: In the booking stage, I need to have a field telling me how many spaces are left on each activity. Say for example I'm booking Person 99 in for Swimming and there is only 11 places left I need the field to display 11 places left. After that booking it should update saying 10 places left because Person 99 is booked in.
I'm in the process of constructing a student database for my school which would track (in addition to detailed student information) the daily attendance of over 270 students.
It is my understanding that there is a limit of 255 field names per table, so I can't use the student names as field names, nor can I really use dates as this would not quite cover even a year.
Student ID and AttendanceDate as field names is also not really a feasible strategy, as each week this would eat up 1300+ rows, so I would run out of space in that direction as well.
My question is ultimately am I better off building this in excel 2010, or is there a way of doing this in access that I have overlooked?
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 am trying to create a database for a clinic, and am severely stuck on how to input appointment dates for individual patients.
I have been using the 'student' database from office.com as a template for how to save the dates (given that appointments and attendance are exactly the same!), however, even after following what has been set up in the 'student' template database, I can't seem to replicate it.
Every time I add multiple visit dates for a specific patient, these exact dates show up for every other patient in the database. I need to be able to add different dates for all the different patients.
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
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?
I have an attendance database and I connect the time attendance machine db to my access db, what i am trying to do is to generate a report that shows the time in and time out for specific date. the type of attendance db is date/time.
Please see the attached screenshot db from attendance machine.
an also some time there is duplicate entry, I need to get the first and the last entry only for specific date.
I want to keep the user away from the tables, but want them to beable to query the tables on their own from a selection on the Main Swichboard. My question is twofold, one being is this advisable and two how would I go about that? I can't seem to find anythng on it in my searches.
Hi, i have made many access databases which run on standalone machines and perform tasks such as invoicing, stock checking and various other tasks for businesses.
My problem is, I have just been asked to allow multi user access to the system with updates performed almost instantaneously.
Heres the setup: Computer One - linked to - Computer Two (via a computer to computer network using a simple cat5e crossover cable to allow access to the files on each system).
What I need is to have the database file so that both users can access it at the same time and any updates are virtually instantaneous.
At the moment with only one pc, if someone was to create an invoice the stock levels would all update automatically in the system so if a stock check is performed the correct stock level is always shown as it is only run on the one computer.
What i need is to be able to have the system open on both pcs at the same time and if for example User 1 was to create an invoice, and User 2 was to perform a stock check shortly after, the updated stock levels would be shown.
I trully have no idea as to how to go about this, and would like to keep it as simple as possible. Any help would be much appreciated.
i am trying to write a query to produce a descending recordset of photo_id but only one from each user e.g
if these are the top records
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 149 m_name dave photo_id 148 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 146 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
i want the query to produce this
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
and so on, there are other fields also but that gives you the idea i hope. what i have come up with is this
SELECT MAX(FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id) AS ID, FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name,FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name,FO RUM_ALBUM.Member_id FROM FORUM_ALBUM, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS WHERE FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id=FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.MEMBER_ID AND FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Status=1 GROUP BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id,FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name, FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id ORDER BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id DESC;
this gives me the records i want in the correct order but it gives multiple instances of each M_Name instead of just one record for each M_Name
Hi can anyone help me. I need to create a form filter that will allow a user to enter an amount into a text box and then run the filter to match the amount entered. I have tried creating a macro that will execute this but it wont work. any ideas?
Please could somebody point me in the right direction of code.
I have a database which I would like to query using a form with a combobox or two, each of which containing a list of eg. Customer Names, or Reference Numbers, which will then produce a report which can be printed out.
I know basic ADO, like get the database, open it, find records, update and delete records, however I have been unsuccesfully searching for the code to open a report, which will respond to certain sql parameters that correspond with the values in the combobox. And then be able to print that report if possible.
I would be much appreciative if anyone would point me in the right direction, Thanks!!
Based on one particular report style, have multi select criteria to produce user selected criteria
based on selections from a. Interest, b. State, c. Type
Report 1. sorts on Interest, 2. sorts by State, 3. sorts by Type ... and each report includes selections of the other 3 selections plus basic data common to all.
Plus, the Interests have a table where the main interest data is stored in a ContactInterest table, while the specific interest selections, per contact, are stored in the Contact table as Interest_1 through Interest_20.
In the Report, when it is sorted by Interest, while I have a concantated output for 5 of the selections, they also, want to sort alphabetically by the interest selections (which changes per Contact).
There is already a form for printing reports that are more static, and I wanted to add these selections on that form, perhaps as a subform, to allow printing of the reports, mentioned, and associated mail labels to the targeted addresses per group.
Any help, direction, guidance, or redirection would really help and is MUCH appreciated. I've tried many options, and as a newbie, have not yet found a solutions- or solutions.
Thank you so much. (time is of the essence and my skills are small so far.)
The problem is I need it to be only editable by 1 user, but allowing multiple other users to access it and view the records- just not able to add/edit/delete them.
The other question I had about the Split database would be- Does having a split database mean the data needs to be updated in 2 tables or am I taking Splitting databases too literally?
I have been tasked to create a report menu for my users to select a report (there are about 20), select which filters that they want to apply to that report, then run based on what the user selected as the filters.
I have about 30 different filters to create, and based on which report the user selects, the filters that apply will need to be shown. I'm thinking the reports will be in an option group, and based on which report the users selects the filters that apply to that report will be displayed. From there the user can choose to apply a filter or not, and run the report.
I am trying to figure out the best way to tackle this. Should I try to create a table that contains the report name and type of filter to loop thru the controls to set visible, and build the SQL?
creating dynamic RibbonXML where statement will depend on user that is accessing access database. I created DynamicXML no problem and it changes context depending on user but my main problem is refreshing ribbon. I see that UsysRibbons tables changes fine but it's not being loaded. I have to restart access in order to this to take effect. I tried gobjRibbon.Invalidate method but it doesn't refresh ribbon for some reason... Here is my code:I created new module with name "Ribbon" and put this in there:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public gobjRibbon As IRibbonUI Public Sub CallbackOnLoad(Ribbon As IRibbonUI) ' Callbackname in XML File "onLoad" Set gobjRibbon = Ribbon End Sub
and then in form that validates a user I put:
If (Not gobjRibbon Is Nothing) Then gobjRibbon.Invalidate End If
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
I am fairly new to Access and my "changed" position at work requires that I learn much more about the software. My first challenge is to learn how to make an existing form prompt a user to confirm or cancel changes. I don't know anything about coding but I searched online and found some coded that is supposed to make this happen. I went to "form properties'' and typed this (below) in BeforeUpdate:
'If the form data has changed a message is shown asking if 'the changes should be saved. If the answer is no then 'the changes are undone
