This is probably a real common question but I could find the answer. When is it time to start using MSDE for the data? I built a DB that has grown to about 600 mb and expect to reach a gb before I can archive any data. Everything is run fine with the exception of a user conflict once and a while. About 7-10 users.
View RepliesHy all,
i have created a database with access 2003 that now experience some slowness problem. i have concluded that is a table that is becomed to big, but i can't delete any record...
it should help me upgrade the database to MSDE? if yes someone could help me?

Hello,
I'm considering using another database server (than Access). The application has more and more users so I would like to upgrade the server to a better DBMS in terms of robustness, security and performance.
The client will remain an access application.
I made my short list but it remains open to include another DBMS : MSDE, SQL server, MySQL, Postgres, ...
Do you have any information that could help me to make the best choice, such as :
- benchmark reports
- compare analysis
- case studies
- your opinion

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?

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?

Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM
[PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
[ShiftLength] =DateDiff("n", [PunchIn],[PunchOut]) = 572 minutes.
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
I have a date/time text field on a form with the General Date format and a combo box next to it that has sequencial times as the row source (IE. 12:45 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM, ETC.) 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday
EXIT FUNCTION

IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours

DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.
I have a database consisting of two tables. One is "articles" and the other is "tasks". To put it simply, I would like to find how much time the article spends in tasks, but one article can have many tasks, and they often (but not always) overlap. Tasks have a start and end date field.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
Wonder if someone can help please. I'm quite new to Access so please bear with me.
I have a data field in my database consisting of both a date and time.
I then have a form containing two fields where the user can type a 'To' and 'From' date to extract the records that they are interested in. The query behind this uses the 'Between[Enter The Date] And [Enter The Date]' coding.
The problem is that because the field contains a time it doesn't return any records when I run the query.
Can anyone offer a bit of guidance on how I could ignore the time part of the field perhaps by adapting the above.
Many thanks

Hi all, I havent' been around in a while (toddler, work, getting my BS degree and new baby coming in a week and a half) so I am hopefully not asking a previously posted question.
I'm suspecting my new work isn't accurately paying for the hours worked. I made a quick simple DB where I input my punch times in short time format. There's the typical In, Out for Lunch, In from Lunch, and Out. I've got it correctly adding the times so that it reports the total hours worked per day, though, in order for it to display correctly, that total is in short time as well.
The problem is, when I group a week together, as soon as the sum of the totals reaches 24 or more, it goes back to 0, as it's on the idea that there's only 24 hours in a day.
Hopefully, it's just a formatting issue or is there a function to convert the times (or just the sum) to number of hours?
Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

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 have finger print machine and i already connect to it and get all log.then i tray to get data and here is the code that im using

FROM CHECKINOUT INNER JOIN USERINFO ON CHECKINOUT.USERID=USERINFO.USERID
WHERE (((Format([CHECKINOUT].[CHECKTIME],"dd/mm/yyyy"))='10/04/2014'));
how i get end time due to CHECKTYPE]=O
I need a Select Query to display data on a form. When an order is appended to my table the field named Printed is updated with the time it was appended. When my form opens it needs to display the field Printed and a field I call MinutesFromPrint. This field needs to display the total minutes elapsed from the time in the Printed field to the current time. My expression is not working.
MinutesFromPrint: DateDiff("n",[Printed],Now())
Here are a couple of samples of my results when I run the query at 7:49 A.M.:
Printed MinutesFromPrint
2:35 60366554
5:07 60366402
I have a column/field named [DateTaken] which contains test dates and times in the same cell. I am needing to find those with a test time less than 2:30 pm or <14:30pm.
data looks like this:
8/22/13 4:23 PM
1/29/14 12:21 PM
1/28/14 3:27 PM
8/26/13 4:27 PM
[code]....
this is what I have come up with to extract the time component of data set so that I can then later, sort it by the time in a query.
JustTime: TimeValue([YourField])
JustTime: ("hh:mm",([DateTaken])) and or ("hh:mm",[DateTaken])
I get either invalid operator or invalid syntax errors trying both of these.
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

The Time In and Time Out attendance is provided (no data entry), it is generated from other tool. I will just load it from an excel sheet to the access database and it will calculate and generate report. Default should be 9 hours per day, if they wont render 9 hours it will show in Difference column. Form will be like this:

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've run into a bug, I think. I have a time field with it set to show "Medium Time" which is "hh:mm(AM/PM)", however, when I combine the information with another field in a query (=[OfficeDay]&" - "&[POfficeTime]), the time comes out as "Long Time" or "hh:mm:ss(AM/PM)". End result is Wednesday - 10:30:00AM when it should be Wednesday - 10:30AMDoes anyone know a way around this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName

Hi,
I have a database that tracks jobs as they are being completed.
I have 2 tables, the first of which contains details of the jobs and the second contains details of the individual tasks that make up each job (Job and Task respectively)
Within the Job table, there are several fields, however the fields I am concerned with are JobKey, JobID, Start_Time and End_Time.
Currently, as each task within a job is completed, a new entry is added to the Job table with an updated End_Time. At the end of a job, there will be several entries in the Job table similar to
JobKey JobID Start_Time End_Time
1 1 10:00:02 11:00:07
2 1 10:00:02 11:01:14
3 2 10:02:12 11:24:45
4 1 10:00:02 11:02:34
5 1 10:00:02 11:05:25
etc
When I query the Job table, I end up with multiple references to the same job, where all I really want is a single reference to a job with the JobID, Start_Time and the End_Time the last entry relating to a particular job.
How would I write a query to give me a single reference to a JobID Start_Time and the final entry for End_Time?
eg From the above, my query should return
JobID Start_Time End_Time
1 10:00:02 11:05:25
2 10:02:12 11:24:45
Thanks for any help with this
