I am using a database and need a field capable of storing times that will be greater than 24 hours.
I understand there is no "ready made" way of dealing with this in Access, so what's the best way?
The catch is I am using VBA code in Excel to populate the table, the value comes from a cell (in Excel formatted as "[h]:mm").
I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I'm a new italian member.
I have a problem:
How can I show hours, in a field, greater 24 h (p.e. 35:15) ?
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly this is my first post so please forgive me if i do not conform to the usual way of asking a question!
I have an access database set up and it is working well, so far!
What I wish to do is the following, I am creating this for a cycling club to store race results...
I wish to store the time that they completed the stage in, how do i do this using the date/time field option when all it wants to do is store a complete time.
for example i wish to store 1 hour 12 minutes 15 seconds in the table as 1:12:15 for stage 1.
Plus they may have received a penalty, so in another field I would like to say store a 10 second penalty...
anyway you get the idea.... please could somebody inform me on the best way to do this, it has to be stored as a time so I can add all the stages up later and create a report!
Thanks in advance...
Looking to have a time field that a user can enter how long they worked an issue. Format should be ##:##, but I'm afraid that if I use text, calculations will be impossible.
How does someone do this if it's expected that the value will frequently go over 24 hours?
Any Help!
I have fields that are time formated 99/99/99" "00:00;0;_ and I want to subtract them.
I need to get the results in two forms; first in Days and second in Hours. I have used the obvious subtract one from the other and it gives me days in a rounded numbeer, but the hours is not working out.:confused:
DB
I want to create a query that will calculate the following:
When a user enters a start time and an end time in 2 seperate fields (eg. 06:00 and 08:00) I want to automatically return how many hours fall between 00:00 to 01:00, 01:00 to 02:00, 02:00 to 03:00 etc through the 24 hour clock.
To give you a background why I want this, I'm creating a labour planning database that calculates the nuber of people available each hour in a warehouse. So when a user inputs 06:00 to 08:00 for overtime work I need the database to tell me 1 hour falls between 06:00 to 07:00 and 1 hour between 07:00 to 08:00.
I'm really struggling to come up with a solution to this one, any help would be appreciated.
I am currently in the process of creating an Employee Database. I have a 'staff information' table with several fields, one of which is a 'contracted hours field'. I have a spreadsheet linked to this database and therefore require this field to be formatted correctly in hours and minutes. For example...I wish to store a decimal time of 37.5 as 37:30.

I need to create a method of calculating -week number,hours worked per week and a leiu hours total.
Explanation
Users enter their worked hours per day. I need to calculate the total hours worked per user per week and if this is greater or less than their contracted hours a record of this figure over a continual time period (or year).
Variables :- Time worked,Holiday hours,Leiu hours taken,Sick leave, Other authorised leave.
I realise that i'm asking on a lot but working for a charity has financial limits.
Attached the basic database-so far
Thanks in advance for your help

I created a time clock module where you input the time in and time out and it takes the difference of the two to give total time worked. However the boss wants the time worked represented in hours and tenths of hours not minutes. How can I take the time, seperate the hours...find out how many tenths of an hour worked and then add the hours and tenths together.

I am trying to show the time difference between 2 times but the calculation is not working correctly.
First I work out the totaltime on mins between 2 dates using datediff, then I am trying to convert to hours and minutes like :
Total_Time: Format([Sumoftotaltime_mins]/60,"00") & ":" & Format([SumofTotaltime_mins] Mod 60,"00")
This is working until I have something like :
03:00
15:45
25:20
this should work out as 44 hours and 5 mins but for some reason it is showing as 43 hours and 5 mins.
why would this be ?
Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. I am making a program in access 2002. In my program you should punch in hours:minutes, this is for keeping track of how long a job has taken to perform. The problem is that it could exceed 23:59, it could take up to a week or even more. In my database we have already put in a lot of info where it doesn't exceed the 23:59, I would like to keep this posts and just to put in new ones that I could use further on when I am about to take out reports, where I have to calculate time. Is there someone who knows what to do ??

I need to calculate in the tbleJobs table, the amount of the jobs total amount and place the result in the JobsTotalAmount field.
This has to be a manual calculation. Not an on event calculation.
Data is coming from two table:
tblLimos has the hourly rate.
tblJobs has the start time, the finish time and the total amount field.
I am trying to subtract 12 hours from a time-date field when the payperiod does not equal 01.
in a query I have:
work date: iif([payperiod]="01",[StartTime],[starttime]-#12:00:00#) - Access added a PM before the second hash so it looks like this:
iif([payperiod]="01",[StartTime],[starttime]-#12:00:00 PM#)
When I run the query I get a message box: "syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '00:00:PM#,2))". I am unable to open the query to correct the error. I can cop the unaltered query from a back up database.
My question is how do I subtract the 12 hours.
Thanks

I have designed an access application that logs emails that come into a department. However, the team leader has asked me to create a report to work out if emails were answered within a 24 hour period.
Is there a method to do this. It is not something I have attempted to do within access before.
I want to calculate decimal hours duration taken for a job starting before and finishing after midnight.
I have something that works but it seems cumbersome.
Hour(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))
+ (Minute(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))/60)
In my DB that we use and a workflow tool, some of our work has and due date and time.If we get the complete_package our work time starts and we have X amount of time to complete our work. This is something i worked on but set it aside, now i am coming back to try and fine tune this so it returns a more accurate value.
So if we receive and [Date_Complete_Package_Received] at 09/13/2014 09:00:00 AM and based on the work being done we have 5 hours to complete the work, then the [Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE] would be 09/13/2014 02:00:00 AM. That part is simple and i have coding that does that just fine. [SLA_Time] is where it gets the amount of time allotted, we have 5,10,12,14,and 16 hours depending on what is being done.
Code:
Me.Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE = DateAdd("h", [SLA_Time], [Date_Complete_Package_Received])
This is done on AfterUpdate of a field on one of my forms and it works the way it is but what i need is to be able to run this through my Workhours Function so i am not getting values that our in off hours.The following doesn't work i know i can't use the Workhours function with the DateAdd but this is just to show what i am trying to do.
Code:
Me.Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE = WorkHours(DateAdd("h", [SLA_Time], [Date_Complete_Package_Received]))
I have a Workhours module and it is used for a lot of things and it works perfectly.
Hi, I am creating a time keeping db.
Before I jump in and start creating a way to record times worked I thought it best to ask for advice.
The db is created and the last part is to capture by member:
Basically I have the following fields:
MemberID
Job Type
Date of Job
Time Started
Time Finished
From the data captured I need to create a report to show month and ytd hours worked.
It would be easy to ask the user to calculate the hours worked and input the number of hours, however I would like to capture start and finish times.
Can anyone give me any pointers on the best field types and field formats for capturing times which would then make it easier to work out hours worked.
Thanks in advance

I would like to add time elapsed since an entry was made excluding weekends public holidays and calculating 8 hours a day (from 6am to 2 pm) since the entry was made till the generation of the report.
How shall I approach this in terms of programming ?
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 want to subtract 8 hours of work of the Result of employee work hours/

Hi everyone!! I need some advice regarding the following query:
This is a big database with many tables and queries etc. but for simplicity lets say i have database with 2 tables (table1 and table2) both contain invoice numbers. table2 contains one record while table1 contains many. Ok simple so far but here comes the question, how can I write a query that selects all records from table1 that are greater than the value in table2, hope that makes sense? I've been trying to slog this out on my own but dont really know where start so any help will be appriciated
Thanks Steve.
Hey, cool forum. going to be really useful!
Have an assignment due in a few weeks and basically its a gym senerio.
Got a lot going so far, macros tables and forms. reports shouldnt be a problem.
Now i'm not sure this is actually expected but i'm sure i'll get high marks if i include it.
anyway:
there are 3 memberships, gold silver and bronze, gold can take 7 classes max and bronze 2 so how would that query work?
I can make it so no more than 7 member ID's are entered into a field but how will i make the queary recongnize the difference between gold and bronze?
would it be something like group by Membership and type criatera Gold and then in member ID have <=7?
if i did this how can i work that into a form?
anyway, know that might not make sense, or may make perfect sense but i just dont get it! either way thanx for reading, any suggestions would be much appriecated

I managed to cludge around my earlier deciles query so now have the break levels though have run into a brick wall.
I have 2 tables (simplified below)
tbl1:
decilerank (basically a record number)
value
eg
1 150
2 160
3 170
tbl 2:
value
name
What I want to be able to do is be able to select all the names where the values lie between 150 and 160
algorithm is select tbl2 where tabl2.value > tbl1.decilerank[1].value and < tbl1.decilerank[2].value
and so on
Anyone able to help?
Edited to add:
Nothing links the tables.
Basically I am trying to use the data from one table as input into a query against the other.
eg select person where age is > 20 and < 30
where 20 and 30 are stored as seperate records in another table.
Hi,
I have a query setup, using a caculated field, to determine the greater of 2 dates, from 2 separate fields. Here is my calculated field:
LastContactDecide: IIf([Date1_Last_Contacted]>[Date2_Last_Contacted],[Date1_Last_Contacted],[Date2_Last_Contacted])
This works fine, except when there is a null value in either Date1_Last_Contacted or Date2_Last_Contacted. How do I get around this ?
Thanks !
