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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop a simple payroll. I have already developed three tables named tblEbmployee, tblPayment, tblDate. These are related with one to many between tblEmployees and tblPayment and one to many between tblPayment and tblDate. I dont need much calculations in the system. I will add salaries in tblPayments of the employees manually (as there is no set formula relating to the salary an employee). What i need is:
To make a form which uses tblemployee for each month salary
To carry the previous month salary data to next month without adding date for each employee indiividually. (is there a way to change month once that applies to all employees, keeping the record of previous month ) Do i need to add some other table to keep record of previous month payments and a table keeping record of rate of salary

I am trying to type a code based on 1 & 2 criterias. However, I am having a problem on the first criteria because it is adding 8 hours when it shouldn't. Can someone help to either fix my code or write a new one? Thank you very much!
Criteria 1: If the day_of_wk is 1, calculate time-reg_time/60, If the day_of_wk is 1 and time is less than 0, calculate time-reg_time/60+24
Criteria 2: If the day_of_wk is 2, calculate time/60, If the day_of_wk is 2 and time is less than 0, calculate time/60+24
My code: pre: IIf([day_of_wk]="2",[time]/60,IIf([time]<0,([time]-[reg_time])/60+24,([time]-[reg_time])/60))
Hey there,
I have a form that has 7 days (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, etc...). The time is formatted like 08:00AM. Under each of those controls I have something that uses the expression: =(((([Sunday End Time]-[Sunday Start Time])*24)*60)/60), which if the hours were 08:00AM - 04:00PM, would give me 480, and then I convert it to hours (8). I have all these fields defaulted to 12:00AM to 12:00AM. I have another box that totals all these fields and uses the expression: =([SUH]+[MH]+[TU]+[WH]+[TH]+[FH]+[SAH]). These boxes are all of the results of End time-Start time. Now the problem. I have a payrate field on the form that looks at the hours worked, so I needed to separate overtime from straight. I have a box that looks like this: =IIf([Hours Worked]>"40",40,([Hours Worked])). The hours worked box is the result from the sum of SUH+MH+, etc...The problem is, each time I have any hours in there less than 10, it will return a crazy result. If I only enter 8 hours, it enters in the hours worked box: 40 hours. If I add 2 more hours, it fixes itself. What is the problem. I would be happy to send the file over, or ANYTHING to get this to work.
Sincererly,

Hello excellent helpers,
Thanks first of all for the responses I always get on here.
Question: There are several number fields on my form that are calculate fields, which I will show later what the expression is, that are not rounding off to 2 decimals as I am asking it to. How do I fix this?
The expression: =(((([Wednesday End Time]-[Wednesday Start Time])*24)*60)/60). This is a control box located under two fields (Start time and End time). The fields are formatted as 08:00AM.
So if I did 08:00AM to 05:20PM, the result would be 9.333333333....This does not mean much for the day as it adds up to be only cents, but over the week it becomes dollars. If the actual number was 9.33, it would be ok. No use in explaining that, you all get the idea.
I'm trying to use a query to calculate the payroll for all the employees but it won't work. The two tables I have are 'Employees' and 'Employee Payroll'. In the 'Employee Payroll' table there are three fields- Employee ID, Days worked and Earnings. I need to calculate the sum of the earnings field but it just displays a blank list of records when I try it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I have an order database Access 2000 for an inspection company, tblInspectors, tblOrders, tblCustomers, I want to be able to calculate inspector pay within order database. Each inspector is an independent contractor, so it just needs to calculate percentage, for each inspection performed and total for pay period. Each inspector is paid a different percentage, which is stored in tblInspectors. Payroll is paid every two weeks . . . I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this ... :confused: Any advise be greatly appreciated.:confused:
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am basically doing FORM to automatically figure out my stylists commission pay, based on 5 levels of sales and 3 different pay levels, that I will cut and paste in a table from my POS system.
3 Total Tables.
tbl_Employees, with the headers ID, Name, Payroll ID, Comm_Level.
tbl-Current Year with the headers ID, Payroll ID, Name, Service Sales.
tbl_Comm with the headers ID, CommLow, CommHigh, Level1, Level2, Level3
In a query, Qry_Years, I have Payroll ID, linked between the tbl_Employees and tbl-Current Year.
I am close in a FORM to getting this to work, unless DLookup is the wrong why to go about this.
This is not correct, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do. In a FORM text box (called framePayrollIDLookup) I have
=DLookUp("Level1","tbl_Comm",[tbl - Current Year.Service Sales] & " between [CommLow] and [CommHigh]").
This pulls up the correct pay percent for level1 employees, but i need to change out Level1 to something variable.
This also doesn't work, but gives you an idea of my though process.
=DLookUp(" " = framePayrollIDLookup,"tbl_Comm",[tbl - Current Year.Service Sales] & " between [CommLow] and [CommHigh]"), but this doesn't work.
I might be way off base on how to do this, but I am trying. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I would like to get your advice on my table setup and relationships for this payroll project. The company is an engineering company with Projects (or construction sites) around the world.
The 'Candidates' are current or potential employees and contractors. There are three main pay categories:
1.Shift-workers
All shift workers doing a particular job on a particular project are paid the same rates e.g. all welders on a particular project or site in England are paid the same as each other. For that reason I want to link the pay rates with the job description for these workers. This avoides creating 50 records for 50 welders on the site in England to say that they make £10 an hour normal time (or whatever it is) etc.
2. Contract
Contract workers usually get paid a flat rate per hour. As these are negociated on an individual basis I would need to have this information linked to each individuals job (M_CandidateJobDetails).
3. Salary
Again this information needs to be input for each individuals job.
For the contract and salary people the pay frequency can vary (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly). So can the currency they are paid in. I haven't got as far as the currency issue yet.
The reason for the one-to-many relationship between M_JobClassifaction and M_CandidateJobDetails is that many candidates can have the same type of job e.g. there can be many employees that in the job classifaction of 'Electrician'. For many of the jobs at managerial level e.g. 'site manager' there will only be one.
I will have a table with the hours worked by each person per week. I can use this for those on shift work or contract to calculate what they will be paid.
One of the main reasons for this database is so that the company can print reports to see what is paid out in payroll for each site and in total (in euros). These will be gross figures and I don't need to take expenses, vacations, bonuses or taxes into account. They other thing we will need to be able to do is assign candidates to vacant positions and change them from one position to another - possibly between different projects.
So basically does anyone have any comments on the relationships, normalisation or anything else. Is this the best way to do it?
I've attached a screenshot of the relationships.
I have a table called tbl_Employee. The employee's hourly rate is one of the columns. I want to create a forecasting schedule that will find the work days between two dates, multiply by 8 (hours per day) and multiply by the hourly rate.
For example, Employee A has rate of $100/hr. We forecast they will work 250 work days from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015 so 250*8*100= $200,000.
However, on June 1, the rate for Employee A increases to $110. So the new forecast would be (125*8*100)+(125*8*110)=(100,000+110,000)=$210,000 .
How can I account for something like this?
I would like to create a payroll record that collect some information from another table. In other words:
-I have an employee.
-I have a payroll table.
-I would like to get some of the values from the employee table written to the payroll table when a new record is entered.
The form would look some thing like this:
Three boxes:
Employee: [ ] (table query to find name) # of students [ ] #of class minutes [ ] (value list with 3 choices)
When the SAVE button is pressed a record would be written to the payroll table with:
The payroll table would look like this:
payrolid#, employee#, employee, # of students, # of class minutes, rate, date
The employee#, employee and the rate would come from the employee table.The # of students, # of class minutes and date would come from the payroll form.
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).
I am new to Access and Ive created adatabase to control a spa system.
I have several tables: Customers
Employees
Types Of Haircut - Their prices
Types oF massage Their Prices
Now I want To create a form where i am able to choose customer, the employee performing the haircut or massage
The price should be displayed and the total AMount
How can I do that?
Should I create a Query and based on the query I create the form?
Please Help!!!
Thanking you all
I am still a bit confused about the system.mdw file.
I create FE and BE on my local computer and change name of system.mdw to say Jobs.mdw, after backing up system.mdw I then join jobs.mdw with my jobs FE and jobs BE and set secutity settings, etc. I then place
FE, BE and Jobs.mdw all in the same folder.
I now email jobs database with jobs.mdw file to client which places FE, BE and jobs.mdw in Jobs folder on server. Shortcut for fe is placed on each local machine.
My question-Does Jobs FE and Jobs BE still access Jobs.mdw even though placed on another computer and possibly another version of Access?
Does the shortcut have to reference Jobs.mdw?
I need to understand this.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi, I am trying to implement my Database with an enquiry (or quotation) table and I am not sure I am heading in the right direction:
-We use assemblies made of components and the data are held together in the database with a 'Bill of Material' set up.
-A typical assembly is made of 1 or 2 bodies + Fasteners (straps and screws),
-The body price is calculated depending on his weight and an extra costs can be added with extra tooling and machining,
The costumer ask us for a quotation for various number of assemblies and we send back the estimation of the price,
I am really struggling to see if my tables are set right and this is what I came up with (attached rr.zip):
A main Enquiryfile Table is linked to an enquiryDetail Table which would record each individual item information for each Enquiry.
I have also added a Extracost detail table that would record all the Machining and extra pattern making cost for each assembly.
And finally, and that's what I am far to be sure about, a TblChildItemCost where the price of each components would be recorded (for each enquiry detail). The body price is based on his weight but also depend of various market exchange rates, that is the reason why I have created a table for the price of component for each enquiry.
I really hope someone can help me on that one...Thanks in advance.
Hello,
My application I develop should retrieve some meta data from Access system tables. It should find:
- What tables are stored in database.
- What columns have each table in database.
- What relationships are between tables in database.
I opened systems tables of some .mdb file and took interest in such kind of information. But I got some problems by looking for what exactly I need. Please, could someone help me at these points:
1) I found that in system table MSysObjects I can find names and ids of tables created by user (for example by me). But how to determine that these tables are created by user and they are not let’s say a system tables?
2) I didn’t find any meta data about columns of tables! How to determine what columns has each table?
I created application which uses MS SQL Server to retrieve such a kind of meta information and there where no problems. But I stuck using Access.
I was looking for some information in Internet but ineffectively. Please, help me...
I have two tables, one named Loan and one named DVD Details.
On my DVD details table i have a field name, on_loan with a data type yes/no.
I have created a form called LoanForm where i want to select a DVD with a combo box,
then select a Set loan button that will set the corresponding DVD on_loan field to yes(true), in the dvd form.
on the button i have the following code
Private Sub HireDVDButton_Click()
Update dvd
Set car.on_loan = True
End Sub
But it doesn't seem to set the on_loan field in the DVD table to true, which is what i want to do.
Sorry if it's not clear what i want to do. I am just a beginner.
Thanks in advance :)

Hi there,
I'm working on my A2 IT Access project atm, and my aim is to produce a fully functional db for use by a golf course, incorporating membership information and tee-time reservation system.
I've got the membership side pretty much sorted, so now I need to start work on the reservation system.
But where to start?
Basically, the user needs to be able to view slot availablity on a specific day, and make/change/delete bookings quickly and easily. The booking also needs to contain the party size. The bookings themselves should relate back to the specific member that made it via the MemberID field.
The user should be able to make bookings upto 6months in the future.
Block bookings should also be possible, so that the admin can block an entire day out for a tournament therefore preventing member bookings.
The first available and last available slots also need to be editable by the system admin to take into account time of year, light conditions etc.
Right, so i know there's quite a lot there, and i'm sure i'll come up with more features that would make it better.
But as it stands, that's something to get me started.
I'm not asking for someone to do the project, just to point me in the right direction as to suitable table structure, how to "make" the slots, how to store the bookings in the table, etc.
So, any input and ideas are greatly appreicated.
Cheers
