Simplify Entry Of Date/time
Jun 29, 2006
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.

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.

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

Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only.
([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null)
How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif

I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.

I have a database with date and time each stored in a separate field. Now I want to query the database based on a start date/time and an end date/time. I started with the code below but it only returns events within the same time range on each day when what I really need is every event from a specified date and time through a specified date and time.
SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName
FROM Staff INNER JOIN myTable ON
Staff.ID = myTable.StaffID
WHERE myTable.myDate >= #3/2/2014#
AND myTable.myDate <= #3/3/2014#
AND myTable.myTime >= #8:00PM#
AND myTable.myTime <= #11:00PM#
ORDER BY myDate desc
In the above example what I want is every event from 3/2/2014 8:00PM until 3/3/2014 11:00PM. But what I get instead is every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/2/2014 and every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/3/2014.

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?

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.

So I have an access application to keep track of the status of small programmable PCBs that we use..
every time one of these pcbs is relocated or reprogrammed, an entry is made into a table in my db (tblLocation) with a unique ID for that action, the ID of the PCB (SD), the location it is going to, the new owner, the firmware version it's been programmed with and the date. Hence, multiple (dated) entries for each board are possible.
what I need to try and do is retrieve the most recent set of data from this table for every board we own... so far I have come up with a method that uses 2 queries, but I would like to combine this into one SQL statement that I can pass to the access db from an excel front end using ADO...
here's my 2 queries:
#1 (qryLastEntry) finds the date of the the most recent entry for each board:
SELECT DISTINCT tblLocation.SD, Max(tblLocation.Date) AS LatestDate
FROM tblLocation
GROUP BY tblLocation.SD;
#2 uses the result set from the above to retrieve only the most recent set of data for each board:
SELECT tblLocation.SD, tblLocation.Date, tblLocation.Owner, tblLocation.Location, tblLocation.Firmware
FROM qryLastEntry INNER JOIN tblLocation ON (qryLastEntry.LatestDate = tblLocation.Date) AND (qryLastEntry.SD = tblLocation.SD)
ORDER BY tblLocation.SD;
If there is a way to combine the 2 into one statement, that would be very useful, as although this method works just fine with access and using the built-in 'get external data' feature within excel, I'd like to be able to manipulate the SQL pragramatically (and also, I may want to migrate to mysql so a cross-platform solution would definitely be preferable in the long run).
I've had a look at using subqueries to achieve this but with no luck so far..
thanks in advance,
Bogzla

This query works, but is really slow. Is there a better way to write it? I have 2 tables, Card and Shipped. For all cards, I am trying to insert a record into the Shipped table if it they are not already there:
INSERT INTO SHIPPED (CardID, ShippedFrom, ShipDate, QtyShipped)
SELECT Card.CardID,'Wpg',#1/1/2007#,0
FROM Card
WHERE Card.CardID NOT IN
(
SELECT Shipped.CardID
FROM Card LEFT JOIN Shipped ON Card.CardID=Shipped.CardID
WHERE SystemID= 10 AND ShippedFrom='Wpg' AND ShipDate=#1/1/2007#
)
AND SystemID=10

I have a textbox on my form that is for "week of", always a Monday. There is vba to populate the appropriate Monday when the user selects something other than Monday via the date picker. This code is in the on change event. However, this is not friendly to a user entering a date in this field. I did try after update event, but that requires user to leave the "week of" field. This is not acceptable in this instance, there are other form fields that change as a result of this "week of" value.I also tried evaluating the length of the text or else exiting the code. However, I was expecting the date being returned from the date picker to always be 10 positions, but for March 3rd, it would return 3/3/2015...which is only 8 positions.

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 have an Analysis_Database which reads tables and performs calculations in a Project_Database. There are multiple Project_Databases which reside together in a folder. To run my queries and analysis I link my Analysis_Database to each of the other databases and run my reports.
Is there a way to set up these links in a table or something to eliminate the Tools/Utilities/Linked Table Manager...etc
Any siuggestions to make this process more streamlined would be appreciated. (I can not make any changes to the Project_Database).
Thanks

I have a form field whose value is as follows:
=Nz(DSum("Capital","Capital_Act","DatePart('q', CVDate([Capital_Month] & ' 1')) = 1 And [projectid]=" & "'" & [projectid] & "'"),0)
Since I am using Domain lookup function in this field, it takes considerable time for this field to get populated on the form when I move from one record to another.
Can anyone tell me the syntax for me to move this expression inside the Form's Query so this can execute faster?
Please note that I need this query to be updateable as I have some other form fields that needs to be edited.
Thanks!

I have a table with the following fields:
Record_No <--- This is an autonumber field
Est_COE --Date Field Type
DATE_DOCR
DATE_Followup
Progress
I then have used multiple querries that just count records based off of Status:
Example of one of the querry's:
SELECT Count(borrower.Record_Number) AS Close_Of_Escrow
FROM borrower
WHERE (((borrower.Est_COE) Between Date() And (Date()+7)) AND ((borrower.Progress)="active"));
Another Example of one other querry:
SELECT Count(Borrower_Journal_Notes.ID) AS Followups_Not_Done
FROM Borrower_Journal_Notes
WHERE (((Borrower_Journal_Notes.Follow_Up_date)>Date()) AND ((Borrower_Journal_Notes.Followed_Up_Complete) Not Like -1));
Then I put both these querry's into a another querry so i can get the data put into a single form using one record source. (The master querry)

***this has already been posted on the report formus...i posted it here also due to its relation to forms***
**********************DO NOT GET MAD**************************
GOOD MORNING...
I currently have a form to launch a set of pre-desinged reports. The main function of the form is that it allows the user to sort or filter the data that appears in the report based on their selection (from combo boxes). I currenty have it set up so that the user can choose a specific client, facility, or region. The problem is the following:
THE FORM IS WAY TOOOO BUSY AND NEEDS TO BE SIMPLIFIED. EX:
CLIENT (combo box)
Microsoft
nortel
dell
ibm
.
.
.
btnLaunchRPT1 btnLaunchRPT2 btnLaunchRPT3
REGION (Combo box)
North
South
East
west
north-west
.
.
.
btnLaunchRPT1 btnLaunchRPT2 btnLaunchRPT3
etc.
each btnLaunchRPT'n' has the following code
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptECM Numbers", acViewPreview, , "[Region] = " & "'" & Me.Combo299 & "'"
but I change the [region] to whatever it is I am sorting by. Can I reduce this down to only having one set of btnLaunchRPT buttons that will detect what the user has selected and applies the proper sorts
HELP

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?

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'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

Well Super Complicated to me. I have setup two queries as follows,
Query 1
The function of the query is basically as follows.
1. If Field 1 is blank do nothing.
2. If Field 2 is blank then Add 7 days to Field 2.
3. If this falls over a weekend then Add another two days.
The expression I have added to do this is,
IIf(IsNull([Field1]),"", IIf(IsNull([Field2]),DateAdd("d",DateDiff("ww",[Field1],DateAdd("d",7,[Field1]),7)*2,DateAdd("d",7,[Field1]))))
Query 2
This query check whether the result of query 1 is a Weekend and if so adds another two days to it,
IIf(Weekday([Field2]= 1 Or Weekday([Field2])=7,DateAdd("d",2,[Field2]),[Field2])
My biggest problem is if I try and do any filters on this information then I get "Expression to complex" errors.
Am I over complicating things here?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
