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 am trying to write a query to produce a descending recordset of photo_id but only one from each user e.g
if these are the top records
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 149 m_name dave photo_id 148 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 146 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
i want the query to produce this
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
and so on, there are other fields also but that gives you the idea i hope. what i have come up with is this
SELECT MAX(FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id) AS ID, FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name,FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name,FO RUM_ALBUM.Member_id FROM FORUM_ALBUM, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS WHERE FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id=FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.MEMBER_ID AND FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Status=1 GROUP BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id,FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name, FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id ORDER BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id DESC;
this gives me the records i want in the correct order but it gives multiple instances of each M_Name instead of just one record for each M_Name
Please Exuse the question I am about to ask. I am a bit rusty with Access and cant remember how to do the following. I have tried and tried to work it out and tried various help searches but cant get the answer I'm looking for.
What I need to do is create a data entry form, very simple! However I want the user to be prompted to enter a project name and number in order to find the project that i want the new data to be entered under. Then it will need to create a new record in that project ready for new data to be entered from the data entry form.
Can someone please tell me how to make it so that a user must save on a form or there is nothing entered into the table? As it stands anyone who views the form creates a new record.
In this db, the users select their name from a dropdown in an auto-open form, but with no password. I want to capture this value for use as the default value in a field on another form, but with the first form closed. I have seen the ENVIRON(Username) function referred to many times on here, but I need to capture the entered value, not the Windows or network login.
Is this possible without leaving the form open? I suppose I could just set its Visible to False when they enter their name, but I try not to have any more windows open than are necessary.
I am trying to validate a time entry in a form, where the time is part of a Date/Time field. What I am trying to ensure is that the time entered is in working hours (in this case 0900 - 1700). I want to raise an error message.
Thus: 20/02/2005 08:30:45 is not OK, while 20/02/2005 09:03:45 is.
Hi, hope someone has an idea of where to start on this.
Our company offers projects to multiple contractors and we have to enter when we spoke to them and their response. I put a textbox with default of Now(), thinking these would be recorded in real time and it would be no effort at all. But the offers are frequently entered days later, and keying in dozens of specific dates/times in the long format is very irritating for users.
Does anyone know of something similar to the DatePicker or calendar popups that will let you use arrows or comboboxes or something to quickly enter a time? We record date, hour & minute (no seconds) because it updates the contractor's order on the rotation list (i.e., next call is made to the contractor who has been waiting the longest for an offer). No ActiveX please, we're in secured network environment.
I want to only save changes made to the DB row when the user clicks the Save button I created. I have some text boxes which currently are bound to different columns in the given row (ex: name, address).
Right now, changes are updated automatically when the form is closed or when focus moves to a different tab page.
Is there any simple way to do this? Currently all form input objects are bound to their respective columns (ex: name, address). Should they be bound, or should I just perform a query when the form opens to find the specified item then load the different fields into the proper text boxes.
Also, when I TAB through all my input boxes and the TAB focuses on my Tab Conrol Object the text boxes are automatically updated with the next item n the DB (next row). How can I prevent this?
I need to ensure that the data entered into a field on a form is correct. The field contains an email address and I have a function to check if the format is correct.
If the format is incorrect I need the cursor to return to the field in that record. The form is continuous.
I am trying to open TabCtl86 forms in AddData mode if there are no records in a table for a user chosen form cboClientSearch. The tab control has three pages on it. At the moment I am getting an error saying "the form named '0' is either misspelled or doesn't exist".
I am using this at the moment; DoCmd.OpenForm Controls!TabCtl86, acFormDS, , , acFormAdd, acDialog
We have a new contractual requirement to track all time spent on Military contracts and report it to our Prime Contractor annually.
I am trying to put into Access 2010, basically the same functionality that I have built into Excel time sheets for years; that is simple entry of time in military time using 3 or 4 keystrokes depending on the time of day.
I have a table which records an employee's employee number and job that he or she is working on. I have formatted fields to short for Start Time and Stop Time, and I have a Calculated field also formatted short for elapsed time, however I need to have it simplified to where there is no colon separator on key entry in the form to 700 for 0700 hrs military and 1317 for 1:17 PM.
I will be using this database on several computers, but only a couple that will be used for time entry.
The Excel spreadsheets work well, but I have found them cumbersome trying to dump all the information into a Master spreadsheet from several different individual spreadsheets and I am using Access as our ERP so it will save time if I just add a simple form to track time from there putting it in the hands of the Repairmen and save someone from data entry late.
I'm curious about everyone's opinion of creating an Options table to keep track of things like defaults vs. using the system registry.
Example: For a montly report, I'd like to remember the previous end-date the user picked and use previous end-date+1 as the starting date the next time the user runs the report to make it easier on the user.
I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:
Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...
I have a form with multiple textboxes and comboboxes that allow for user entry, and a subform displaying a table, where the entries from the form are saved and can be retrieved. It's basically a way of creating new task entries and editing existing ones from a single interface.
One of the fields is an "issue number" of sorts, which is a 5-digit code that identifies the task. We have a website where details of each task are stored, and the URL format is akin to this: [URL] ....
The functionality that I'm hoping for is that when the user saves the record, it will be saved as the full link address, by concatenating the static first portion of the address and the code entered by the user. However, I need the table to still only display the code, not the whole link address, and will follow the full address when clicked in the subform table.
I've got a data entry form bound to one table. The form has four buttons:
- Clear Fields - Cancel - Save and exit - Save and add another (which should save the user input to the subform/table, clear the input fields, and allow the user to add another record)
I can't quite seem to get the "Save and add another" button to work. When I put some information in the input fields and click the button, it saves it to the subform/table perfectly, but when I try to do it again, it just edits the last record (the one just created).
How can I get that button to place the information from the input fields in a new record every time?
The _Click event for the button looks like this:
Code: If Len(Me.field1 & Me.field2 & Me.field3) > 0 Then Me.Refresh btnClear_Click DoCmd.Save End If
I got this message after I install the "SMTPSVG.DLL" that i got from http://www.serverobjects.com/comp/Aspmail3.htm What should I do?
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x8d8 Thread 0x994 DBC 0x240303c Jet'.
I want to know if possible how to define the structure or function that when you have a table "customers" and yoy (f.instance) change the address, you can save, modify the actual value but conserve the historical value.
Previously I am reading on how to create a Form that permit to obtain all the data required (not to complete) but to consult and if u want to modify.
I think this form could be easy but I want to create the register of the modification so that if any problem I can check the person who changed the data when and what items.
I am looking at the public function routine, that validates the password entry. I want to know how i can make a message pop up with the specific error the user has made on entry.
Public Function ValidatePwd(varPassword As Variant) As Boolean Dim blnValid As Boolean Dim blnValidCriteria As Boolean Dim intChar As Integer
Hi all, Im updating my current checkbook registry database. Just want to be sure that table look ok to everyone before starting the coding process. This will be a multi user - multi account program. I have attached the relations diagram. Please give me some suggestions as to what fields i might need to add.
When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.
Okay, i need to know if there is a way so that more than one person can be in an access database at one time. Both need to be able to edit, add, delete, etc. within the database.
