Short Time Entry
Jan 5, 2008
I'm trying to refine another of my time entries. To enter a Short time (eg 10:35), I have to type in the four digits AND the semi-colon in the middle.
I would like to be able to enter only the four digits with Access making it into the correct format.
I have achieved a similar effect in Excel using code like
TimeVal = Left(Value, 2) & ":" & Right(Value, 2)
I tried writing something similar in the Before_Update Event, but it was rejected!! Any ideas? - Thanks, Andrew.

Hello again,
I think my subject heading explains it. How would you add or subtract two short time formatted values and produce a short time value? Also, how would you change a short time value into number minutes. (i.e. 5:30 into 330) Thanks!

I want to be able to set text boxes so that if one enters a date and a time it displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm", but if one just enters a date is displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". Is this possible?
Stipulating "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" means that when you just enter a date it adds "0" values for the time e.g. entering "21/6/13" gives "21/06/2013 00:00".
General Date allows for an optional time, but it means that when you do enter a time it gives you seconds as well "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" - and I don't want that.

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?

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.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Rob

I am trying to add hours entered in a short time format. For example 08:15 or 02:55. I also would like it to give a total number of hours beyond 23:00. Here is a table with a Name Column and Hours Column
Name Hours
BETTER,HEATHER 8:00
BETTER,HEATHER 8:00
BETTER,HEATHER 5:41
BETTER,HEATHER 2:35
BETTER,HEATHER 1:15
WILLIAMS,R 2:30
WILLIAMS,R 0:45
WILLIAMS,R 11:20
WILLIAMS,R 8:25
WILLIAMS,R 8:15
WILLIAMS,R 10:20
How do I
A) write a query to add up the hours. I believe Heather would total 25:31 Hours.
B) Show this same total in a report? In my report I had a Name Footer which showed "=Sum([hours])". Will this work once the query is right or will I use the "=Sum([totaltime])"?
Also, is it possible for you to respond in a SQL statement so that I can copy? Thanks.

I have a totals query that displays the sum of what products we ship each day. A process in the system automatically assigns the date/time to a ShippingDate field when an item is marked as despatched.
The totals query allows users to view what products are shipped between a period specified by the user.
The problem I am getting is that when the user inputs dates into fields [txtStart] and [txtEnd], the query fires up but will not display any records as a start time 00:00:00 and end time 23:59:59 was not input.
I don't want users to have to do this but cannot think of a way around it. My criteria code in the query for the shipping dates is
Code:
Between [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtStart] And [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtEnd]
Can I append the start / end time onto the code above somehow or is there another method I can utilise that is probably so glaringly obvious I have missed.
Usually a query allows me manipulate a field property sheet but in this case there is nothing obvious to select like format.

I've set up a query to calculate the difference between 2 time fields. I set the property to short time.
The thing is - when I run the query in a Select query, the times in the column which contains the difference, appear correctly : ie hh:mm, but when I run the same query in as a make table query, the time difference field (although I have set the property to short time) appear something like this:
0.664464564646
Can somebody please tell me how to make it that the time difference results field in my make table query appears as hh:mm??
Thanks in advance - nelld

I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code:
Dim Story As String
Dim IDepTime
DimADepTime
IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture]
ADepTime = [ActualDeparture]
Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem"
me.txtnarrative.value = Story
End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?

Hi all
I have a database I built for my employers that is accessed by up to as many as 50 users at one time. It is a relational database. I did a compact and repair this morning which changed the BE from 215MB to 45MB. I went to lunch and came back and the database is now 58MB. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it has increased by 13MB within an hour? There is no way this is caused by geniune data records.
Thanks
Gareth :eek:

I have some project run on MS-Access as front-end with database linked to MS-SQL Server. I have some column of table contain Date-Time data that store data as General Date format (ie 01/01/2005 08:00:00). I create some form for my staff to key in a data of lab test that they will be key in only time with out date value. On form, I show this value as time only too. But I want to use this data with Date value for some calculate as backgroud process.
So...
In case of new data, Database will be store my data as CurrentDate with Time that my staff key in.
In case of data update, Database will be store my data as ExistDate with Time that my staff may update.
What should I do for solve my problem?

I have the following code that creates a long string that works most of the time but sometimes gets cut short. I can't understand why it does this. When it cuts the string short it cuts it short in the same place. Everything gets in the string up to/or about the following code '</Practice Name>'This string is needed to upload info to a server.
Code:
dim msg as string
msg = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>" & vbCrLf & _
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <soap:Body>" & vbCrLf & _
" <UpdateDataForScreens xmlns=""http://mdtoolboxrx.com/"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <PatientObj>" & vbCrLf & _
[code]....

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 am trying to validate a time entry in a form, where the time is part of a Date/Time field. What I am trying to ensure is that the time entered is in working hours (in this case 0900 - 1700). I want to raise an error message.
Thus: 20/02/2005 08:30:45 is not OK, while 20/02/2005 09:03:45 is.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi, hope someone has an idea of where to start on this.
Our company offers projects to multiple contractors and we have to enter when we spoke to them and their response. I put a textbox with default of Now(), thinking these would be recorded in real time and it would be no effort at all. But the offers are frequently entered days later, and keying in dozens of specific dates/times in the long format is very irritating for users.
Does anyone know of something similar to the DatePicker or calendar popups that will let you use arrows or comboboxes or something to quickly enter a time? We record date, hour & minute (no seconds) because it updates the contractor's order on the rotation list (i.e., next call is made to the contractor who has been waiting the longest for an offer). No ActiveX please, we're in secured network environment.
Thanks in advance.

We have a new contractual requirement to track all time spent on Military contracts and report it to our Prime Contractor annually.
I am trying to put into Access 2010, basically the same functionality that I have built into Excel time sheets for years; that is simple entry of time in military time using 3 or 4 keystrokes depending on the time of day.
I have a table which records an employee's employee number and job that he or she is working on. I have formatted fields to short for Start Time and Stop Time, and I have a Calculated field also formatted short for elapsed time, however I need to have it simplified to where there is no colon separator on key entry in the form to 700 for 0700 hrs military and 1317 for 1:17 PM.
I will be using this database on several computers, but only a couple that will be used for time entry.
The Excel spreadsheets work well, but I have found them cumbersome trying to dump all the information into a Master spreadsheet from several different individual spreadsheets and I am using Access as our ERP so it will save time if I just add a simple form to track time from there putting it in the hands of the Repairmen and save someone from data entry late.

I've got a data entry form bound to one table. The form has four buttons:
- Clear Fields
- Cancel
- Save and exit
- Save and add another (which should save the user input to the subform/table, clear the input fields, and allow the user to add another record)
I can't quite seem to get the "Save and add another" button to work. When I put some information in the input fields and click the button, it saves it to the subform/table perfectly, but when I try to do it again, it just edits the last record (the one just created).
How can I get that button to place the information from the input fields in a new record every time?
The _Click event for the button looks like this:
Code:
If Len(Me.field1 & Me.field2 & Me.field3) > 0 Then
Me.Refresh
btnClear_Click
DoCmd.Save
End If

I have two tables, One table containes customer name, etc., tblcustomers the other table contains the tbltimelog, log of activity start time end time. No issues. I want to generate a form based on the dateofentry for the time record. I am not able to get a summary lets say I spent 20 hours on ABC and 20 hours on CBS. If I spent 3 different days on ABC and 6 different days on CBS it will not add them together it will list it ABC 3 times and CBS 6 times. I have tried the distinct function but it doesn't work because the date is distinct. Is there a way to do this as an SQL or whatever. Thinking I could just create a new table and calculating the totals but that seems to be a waste.

Hi All, I have a table with field Trailer Left Date & Time as the "Primary key" which has General date as a format. Is it possible to have a short cut in such a way that I just enter time, but the table takes todays date and the time I provided as a record???
Thanks,

It is my first try at a access blank database. I have been ok so far but ran into this problem. All I want to do is add a sortcut on my desktop to open it to the database to the form I made BUT it opens up but i have to push on the name of the form to open up that form. I know there is a way to do it BUT can not figure it out . I do not need a switch board as the is only one form and that is not in my knowedge base It is like a custom
made directory
