I'm relatively new to Access and would like a few pointers...
I have been asked by work to create a schedule database. We would like to be able to put in dates and see who's working on that day, pull up an individual and see his/hers rota for a week. Also see if they have meetings, annual leave, sickness etc.... We want it to be a very primitive WFM tool. Is this possible and is it relatively easy? The database doesn't have to create the shifts, they will be imported from Excel....
Which leads me to believe I need to think of it differently to excel... Attached is an excel rota, which would need to be importred - but maybe I need to be think a lot differently.
I know thats a big question but any help would be appreciated, or pointers to more resources... Thanks

Hi everybody, Recently I created a database for staff details in my company and I used OLE Object in Data type to make it. The problem now there are more than 500 employees in the company so it is very difficult to scan one by one photo. Is there any way that once I click on command button photo will be detected from scanner and saved directly in the field instead of doing it manually.
I need a query to tell me how many staff are on holiday on the same day..here what i have so far.
A query with name, startholsdate,endholsdate, totaldays, etc, etc,,
records showing; employee A books 01/01/06 to 14/01/06 and employee B books 10/01/06 to 24/01/06 C books 01/02/06 to 10/02/06 and so on,
I need to show how many employees are off on what days eg employee A and B are on hols between 10/01/06 and 14/01/06, so only 3 more staff may take days off between the 10th and 14th. I have tried all sorts of calculations but to no avail? can anyone help..
I need to hold information in a staff table about a person's Line-manager.
My initial idea was to just have the Staff Table and use the PK of a member who is a Line-manager as a FK in the Line-manager field in the same table for their staff.
I then came across a problem.
I need to be able to select all the staff under a Line-manager. For example a head of department may have 3 team leaders who each manage 10 staff. I need to know all of them, not just the 3 team leaders who are directly managed by the HoD but their staff as well.
As it happens there is no rigidgly defined managment structure per se for this organisation which makes things even more difficult.
I assume there is a reasonably standard way of doing this as all organisations have some form of line-manager/staff relationship. Anyone care to enlighten me?
i am unsure as to whether this can be acheived in a database..
basically this task is almost calendar like.
the company operates 7 days a week. i have a table of company drivers and each has their own driver ID.
my user would like to store what time each driver comes into work each day and what time each driver leaves. this needs to be quite flexible however because some days certain drivers wont work, but each day..if a driver has a 'come to work' time then they will for sure have a 'leave work' time.
each driver also pays rent to the company once a week. within this calendar like system i would also like to store on what day the driver paid what amount towards their weekly rent.
i cant quite imagine how this can be done in a database. but if these kind of applications are common, i would be most grateful for some direction.
thank you.
one more thing..
i would also need to record during each day what time the driver left and returned from lunch (sometimes our drivers leave for a few hours during lunch time)
i want to store this because if they miss a job while they are on an extended lunch break im gonna roast em.
i need to design and build a access database for school where staff for a business could request holidays with there holidays then appearing on sum sort of calendar which can be viewed.
does nebody know where i can find an example to help me with my desing?
I have several tables and queries based on tables and cannot get them to generate the results I want when querying them (just one record shows when many should be showing), so this leads me to believe there's a problem with the way I have set my relationships;
tblStaff (Holds lists of all staff and their contact details) queryCoordinator (Filters list of staff from all staff list based on whether they are a projectmanager) queryLeader (Filters project leaders from list) queryMinion (Filters minions from list) tblProject Contains all details from project
I have the staff queries so I can choose from a list of names that are relevant to that job in a form, so we don't have to look through a huge list of staff.I then want to use a query to pull all this information together (project details and contact details of each person involved) so that I can print a single record on a report, however the query isn't working correctly and returns only one project record, not all of them.
There is only one leader, one project coordinator and one minion per project (as far as I am concerned) and I want to reflect this in the query by providing their name and contact details from the single staff list.
Is the relationship between the project and the individual roles Many-to-Many or One-to-Many. I have many projects, and many staff, however each project only has one leader, one coordinator and one minion. I'm thinking One-to-Many, however when I relate the tables together, using the name as the relationship on each form this is where I have problems.
I have a database of staff members. There is a table with the details of staff; name, dob, address etc.
I need to set something up that will record the training that staff attend and then be able to print a report of who attended the training session and also a report of training sessions individual staff members attended.
I need to set up fields in a table for date, topic and presenter and then I need to somehow mark off staff members who attended.
Hey, I am currently doing an A-level ICT project and seem to be stuck at the first hurdel. My problem being that i wish to update the 'Number of sales' field for all the staff in the 'Staff' table. I have tried serveral queries to count the number of sales, which are in the 'Tickets' table for each and indidual 'Staff ID'. This was suscuessful although i am wondering how to transfer these values into the Staff.[Number of Sales]. Also some staff had the value of 0 so did not come up in results of the querie. Is there any possible solution or is there a more simple way to solve the problem. Many Thanks in advance Dan Parker
I have a table with the start and end of their shifts.
We have four possible locations and four weeks.
So I have four tables for each location.
I have a module that can work out hours and deductions based on time in and out. I built that into a seperate databse working on a one time in and one time out setup.
I want to incorporate the two so I can get the hours worked over four weeks at all locations and divide that by 4 to get the average weekly hours for a staff member.
Hey thereI'm currently doing an ICT project for some school work, in which we all have to make access databases. My database is based around a fictional company that provide driving lessons. I've set most of the tables up including clients employees, bookings etc, but i'm wondering if its possible to implement a schedule within access?I would like to know if its possible for say if someone booked 2 hours of lesson, 2 blocks within the schedule table would be filled, or similar to a calender function, e.g. each day has 6 openings within it, and as these become booked the next day is filled.i've searched around a bit and can't really find anything but i'm very new to access so any advice would be much appreciated, or just being told that it isnt possible to implement such a schedule or calender would also be useful as then i wont be wasting time looking :PHope i've posted this in the right place, sorry if i haven't.Thanks in advance.BenJust found this website: http://www.aislebyaisle.com/access/calendartool.htmkinda similar to what i'm looking to do, just wanna know if theres anyway of doing this thats less complex? or free?
I am looking at setting up appointments and having Access automaticly schedule the next appointment in either 6 months or a year depending on the Vender. I've search the forum and can't find anything.
For Example if their last appointment was 12-1-05 I would like access to automaticly schedule the next appoint 12-1-06.
Hello Everyone I need to make an employee schedule in access. I am not sure if it is possible, but here are my constraints:
20 employees
5-6 different truck locations (sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, sm6) These locations are scattered within our service area.
2 employees must meet at the same truck, (each truck has 2 employees working on it)
some employees can only meet at certain locations (ex. paul can meet at either sm2 or sm3)
all employees are PT so they can only work on certain days or a certain amount of days per week. (ex. paul can work up to 4 days a week and jim can work only sat and fri)
I would like to make a program in access that will take all these factors into consideration. EX. if i try to schedule paul on sm4 the program will not let me do it or it will give a warning or if i try to schedule paul for 5 days it will give me a warning. It would also be great to have a counter that will show how many days each employee has left to be scheduled for, EX: if i scheduled paul for 2 days it will show that he can actually work 2 days more if i need him to.
I know this might be a lot, but i also know there are so many talented people here so i am sure it is feasible. Please let me know if you know how to do this or if you could guide me through it.
or if you know about a different program that can solve this please let me know Thanks in advance
Hi i would like to know if it is possible to schedule a a task in access, at the moment i refresh all my excel report by using a button on a form in access and would like ot know if i can do this automatically
I have a database that is split. We want to be able to schedule a compact & repair on the back end. Is there a way within access to schedule a compact and repair?
I am trying to create a database to schedule customer visits. I would like to enter a beginning date and a frequency (IE every week or every two weeks) and then be able to print a schedule by entering a date range. Very similar to how MS Outlook calendar performs. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Chad
I want to automatically create interview slots. On a form I've got an interview set up and there is a one to many relationship with a table containing interview slots. I want the user to key in the start time of interviews and the end time and the duration of the interview. It should then create the records (time slots) and display them.
I assume it will be some kind of append query, but to be honest I just don't know where to start.
Please help. A cyber pint goes to the boffin that susses it.
I have 6 machines that run jobs Monday thru Friday but I will focus on doing one machine to avoid confusion.
The machine will be running 23 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and 18 hours on Friday and is shut down on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning at 5am (start of the work week) Job A starts. The job will run for 30 hours. Then Job B will run for 160 hours. I need to know when Job B will start and end. Although it would be nice to know the time of day, just knowing the date would be good enough.
As I said I have 6 machines and each one is running anywhere from 7 to 10 jobs. My end result could be nothing more than a report, but a datasheet form would be ideal. On Mondays, new jobs are added and schedule is updated based on actual productivity from the prior week.
how to go about creating a report that lists a traditional style class schedule?
I would like the times on the X axis and the days of the week along the Y axis. Ideally, the name of the class and student list would be included.
I have all this information in a database, but right now my classes are being generated in an excel program (by hand) and I'd like to automate it somewhat since some class information is being changed on weekly basis.
What I would like to accomplish is to make a report similar to this, except make it automated so I won't have to change the dates. Users would be able to bring up a current schedule without worry that it's updated or not. The schedule repeats itself every 6 weeks. I made a cross-tab query, but I must admit that I'm not too familiar with working on them.
I have a database which I use for scheduling production. I would like to know if there is a way to "push" the schedule dates. I have multiple products scheduled for production but at times I need to adjust the production dates by pushing all the schedule dates ahead by one day. I don't want to re-enter all the dates to do this adjustments.
I'm working on a database where I enter a series of assets and their costs, and I'm trying to build a query that will generate an amortization schedule for each asset.I'm using an amort methodology that amortizes a certain amount each period based on a calculation. I've got a query that generates the amount that would be amortized based on that calculation.
My problem is in the last period of amortization before the asset is fully amortized. In that last period, the amort methodology may generate an amount to be amortized that would be greater than the total value of the asset. In such cases, I want the amort for that period to be the total value of the asset less the cumulative amort up to this period.
So, for example, I may have an asset that is worth $225. My amort calculation generates an amort amount of $50 per period. For the first four periods, the amort would be $50. But in the final period, only $25 would remain unamortized, and in that instance I want the final amort amount to be $25 instead of $50.
[AssetName], [MonthStartDate] (i.e. the first day of the month for the period of amortization), [BusUnit], [RawMonthAmort]. [RawMonthAmort] has an expression that performs the calculation that determines how much to amortize. I've tested this part and it all works (except for during the final month of amortization, as noted above).
I tried including another layer of conditionals in the [RawMonthAmort] expression that would calculate a cumulative total amort and check that against the total asset value (by bus. unit) and give the difference if the cumulative total amort exceeded the asset value, but I couldn't figure out how to make that work.
I have a report in MS Access. It needs to be converted to pdf and sent to a list of people as mail through MS Outlook at 12:00 Noon on Monday and Thursday. How can I achieve this. I don't have much knowledge regarding macro programming. Any relevant links.
