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.
Hi Guys
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 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 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 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 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 got this code from a member here (thank you, dbickin!), and I've altered it several times to fit my needs. This time, though, it's not working. My goal is to delete all of the text to the left of "C-W." My previous goals were to delete text to the left of /, -, and (. Maybe it's not working now because C-W is three characters rather than one.
Here's the code... 3 samples of what WORKS, and the last one doesn't.
Function RemoveNote(TextIn As String) As String
Dim TextOut As String ' buffer for result
Dim i As Integer ' index into string
Dim InNote As Integer ' flag showing if we are inside a note
InNote = 0
For i = 1 To Len(TextIn)
If Mid$(TextIn, i, 1) = "/" Then
InNote = Abs(InNote - 1) ' toggle flag
Else
If InNote = 0 Then ' not in note, so copy character
TextOut = TextOut & Mid$(TextIn, i, 1)
End If
End If
Next
RemoveNote = TextOut
End Function
Function RemoveNote2(TextIn As String) As String
Dim TextOut As String ' buffer for result
Dim i As Integer ' index into string
Dim InNote As Integer ' flag showing if we are inside a note
InNote = 0
For i = 1 To Len(TextIn)
If Mid$(TextIn, i, 1) = "-" Then
InNote = Abs(InNote - 1) ' toggle flag
Else
If InNote = 0 Then ' not in note, so copy character
TextOut = TextOut & Mid$(TextIn, i, 1)
End If
End If
Next
RemoveNote2 = TextOut
End Function
Function RemoveNote3(TextIn As String) As String
Dim TextOut As String ' buffer for result
Dim i As Integer ' index into string
Dim InNote As Integer ' flag showing if we are inside a note
InNote = 0
For i = 1 To Len(TextIn)
If Mid$(TextIn, i, 1) = "(" Then
InNote = Abs(InNote - 1) ' toggle flag
Else
If InNote = 0 Then ' not in note, so copy character
TextOut = TextOut & Mid$(TextIn, i, 1)
End If
End If
Next
RemoveNote3 = TextOut
End Function
Function RemoveNote4(TextIn As String) As String
Dim TextOut As String ' buffer for result
Dim i As Integer ' index into string
Dim InNote As Integer ' flag showing if we are inside a note
InNote = 0
For i = 1 To Len(TextIn)
If Mid$(TextIn, i, 1) = "C-W" Then
InNote = Abs(InNote - 1) ' toggle flag
Else
If InNote = 0 Then ' not in note, so copy character
TextOut = TextOut & Mid$(TextIn, i, 1)
End If
End If
Next
RemoveNote4 = TextOut
End Function

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/
There is attachment...
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 am using the now() function in my date_added field.
My site is GMT based but my server is in the US and is returning the date added as 6 hours before which does not look good on the site ...
Is there a way to add 6 hours when the timestamp is being added ?( now() +6hrs ) for example...
Or can I add 6 hours to a time stamp on read back? If so how can I add this in clasic asp?
Hi, I am trying to figure out a way to keep record of store hours, and days open for lots of different restaurants. The only thing I could up with is the following. I'm not sure how to keep track of store hours, or even the best way to make a table for hours. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
tblRestaurant
RestaurantID (pk)
tblRestaurantDays
RestaurantID(pk)
DayID(pk)
tblDays
DayID(pk)
DayName
tblHours

I've searched and searched to no avail to find the answer, hopefully you can help.
The story is:
At work, our holidays are now taken as hours off. For example...if I take a Monday off, its 8hrs and 5 min and a Monday morning would be 4hrs and 5 min...What I want to do is calculate how many hours I have taken off throughout the year.
The way I was going to do it was:
Create Table called Times,
Fields = Week, Day, Morning, Afternoon, Friday and 1hour all Data Type "Date/Time"
Week = 37hrs, Day = 8hrs 5min, Morning = 4hrs 5min, Afternoon = 4hrs, Friday = 4hrs 40min, and 1hour = 1hr.
Then create another table called Hol Booking
Similar field names Wk, Days, Morn etc. They would be Data Type "Number"
Now in my simple head, I thought I could simply record how many weeks or days off i had off. Then create a query (for example) Week*Wk to calculate the amount of hours I had off.
In simple terms if I had 2 weeks and 2 days off, the query would multiply Week (37) by Wk (2) and Day (8:05) by Days (2), giving a total of 90 hrs and 10 min.
I know there is a datatype mismatch, but is there a way round this.
Thanks for listening
I have a query in which I need to display just the data that was entered from 9:00 p.m. the previous day until now. There is a date/time field called "QtyTime".
Thanks.
I have an access table, and there is a field called user_time. Once a user record has been inserted, it puts a timestamp on this field, to record the date/time the record was saved to the database.
Now I need to write a query to check if it has been 72 hours since the insertion of the user into the database. This will exclude weekends.
If a record was inserted on a Friday, on Monday it will not be 72 hours, as weekends are not taken into account only weekdays. So Monday will only be 24 hours since the user was added.
Please can you help me with this.
