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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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??
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?
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.
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.

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.
What event would you use to update a label caption relative to a number field in the same form, so that each time a new record is displayed, it goes through my complicated "if" bva code. I want the letter "th", "st", "rd" to display beside a text box relative to the value displayed. I suppose I could do this in the query. :confused:
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?
I have an attendance database and I connect the time attendance machine db to my access db, what i am trying to do is to generate a report that shows the time in and time out for specific date. the type of attendance db is date/time.
Please see the attached screenshot db from attendance machine.
an also some time there is duplicate entry, I need to get the first and the last entry only for specific date.
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
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.
so i created a system to have events booked, and i am trying to check time availability of the event room available, but i dont know what wrong. it either my query or vba code. i have attached the attachment,
I 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 ELSE IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours EXIT FUNCTION ELSE 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.
