Rate My DB
Mar 23, 2008Hoi, Well, this is my 1st EVER database and whatever I've learnt is either from here or 'on-the-way'..It's a Libr4ry Database for a college assignment.Basically, I'm a DBA and also an employee at the library.Nurseries come to us/me to hire books for their students/children/whatever.In my DB you canAdd Authors (of books)Add Books Add copies of booksAdd NurseriesDelete authorsdelete booksdelete nurseriesLoan booksReserve booksReturn booksview all authors reportview all booksview all nurseriesview current loansview current reservationsI've attached my DB, have a little play around say what you think about it..I know at the moment there are a few issues: Adding a copy of a book is annoying because you have to add the book first and then go into an other form and add it as many times as you have it. On Loan report you can't see whether or not the book has been returned Authors_ID are stupidly HIGH and i have no idea why? Autonumber 1,2,3-100? No! 1,2,3,4120032,4120033,4120034 etc! Books can be loaned MANY times Reservations can be made MANY times with the same book Can't view the stock level on a book (haven't done this yet) RETURN table doesn't show necessary data such as names of book and nursery just their ID's which can cause confusion RETURN table 'returned?' combo box shows 0/1 instead of Yes/No although Yes/No are in the drop down box it'sself.. LOAN Table 'date due back' textbox shows '#error' when there isn't a date entered in the Loan date textbox..That list isn't conclusive :' )I'll probably find loads more thing wrong with it..But, if you could..just gimme your feedback and what COULD be improved.. and what's sh-t and what's not etc.Database password is my username.Cheers for all the help with it guys/guyesses!:D:DEDIT: if problems opening .zip, rename it too whatever.rar.

Aug 28, 2006Hello all,
I am talking to a potential customer about doing some contract work using access. This would be my first contract using access and I was just curious what some of you are charging as your rate. I'm a strong developer but my experience has been in a full-time position so I'm not sure what contractors would get paid.
Any help would be appreciated!

Exchange Rate Problem
Sep 17, 2005I've got a question about MS Access.
I've got a table with different customers and different rates that they offer for certain products. The problem is that different customers deal in different currencies. The currencies are one of three; Euro's, Pounds or Dollars.
I would like to create a query that would convert each customers rates to the same currency (pound).
The information is divided into 2 different tables. A customer table and a product table. I've created a form that is based on the customer table and features the product table as a sub-form.
What I would like to do is have an option that would enable me to enter the current exchange rates (as they are constantly changing) which would be used to convert the individual rates depending on the currency used by customers.
Form fields as follows
- cust_id
- cust_name
- company_name
- company_add1
- company_add2
- company_pc
- company_country
sub-form
- prod_id
- prod_name
- currency
- prod_rate
- convert
I'm sure this is possible, but my knowledge on this matter is limitted.
Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Hourly Rate Of Pay For Access Development
Nov 8, 2005I am self-taught on Access and have designed a quite basic database for a friend who owns his own company. This is a client contact database designed to hold information about his clients and their companies, but also to send reminders to Outlook when they haven't been contacted for a while - ie. to make my friend more proactive in his business.
This was a project which I originally agreed to work on for a fixed price. Needless to say, I undersold myself and probably because I am self-taught, with the number of hours I have put in, I probably got paid 2p an hour!
The project is drawing to a close, but he wants to pay me per hour for any further development to the system, and for any similar work he wants doing, problem is I haven't a clue what to charge him per hour?
Any ideas, without divulging your well-earned salaries of course!

Using Country Field To Determine VAT Rate.
May 9, 2007hey,
i have a customer form which includes a "Country" combo box.. the reason i did this is because i have a separate table with a list of countries and their VAT (Value Added Tax, you americans call it sales tax i think :)) rates.
i want this country saved in the customers table.. i need the country table to act merely as a source of data. Now ive spent a good hour tying to fix it messing around with the relationship between the two tables and the combo box itself.. but ive only been able to come to two end results
a) access tells me i cant save the new customer record cause a related record is required in the country table.
b) access enters a new line in my country table with the autonumber of the country selected on the add new customer form in the Country field.
im stumped as to where the problem is:// how can i fix it?
Best Way To Maintain Billing Rate History?
Feb 16, 2008I have created a table for customer bills, and a table for customer profiles which contains rates associated with them specifically. The problem is that after a new rate change has been imposed I want to be able to look at an old bill, via a report, and have it reflect the "old" rate within proper historical context. I'm looking for suggestions on how to best manage ongoing rate changes while maintaining a billing rate history in my reports?

View 14 Replies View RelatedUsing Most Current Employee Wage Rate
May 18, 2015I am setting up a time tracking database which will track employees maintenance times. Several employees spend X number of hours each day maintaining machines from different categories, such as mowing, snow removal, etc.
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to set the tables up in a way which will not require adding an employees wage rate to every time tracking (listed in the time tracking table below) record. To somehow have the table pull data from the most recent wage record for that particular employee. As employees get raises I would like to retain the old rate in the time tracking table along with the new rate for current data.
The way I have the tables setup right now are as follows.
Employee table
EmployeeIDFirstNameLastNameAddress, Phone, etc
Maintenance Categories table
MaintIDMaintName
Wage table
WageIDEmployeeIDDateEffectiveCurrentWage
Time Tracking table
TimeTrackingIDEmployeeID (lookup from employee table)MaintID (lookup from maintenance table)WageID (lookup from the wage table)DateOfMaintenanceStartTimeEndTime
All of the tables have relationships in the time tracking table.
Opinion On Job Description
Apr 2, 2008I was contacted today by a staffing agency and was told that I looked like a good fit for a Data Analyst position. The agency and wanted some more information about my resume and wanted me to email them my references. Next step I would assume would be an interview.
I did want to post the responsibilities of the job and see if other DBAs thought it looked like entry level work. The only thing I know about the company is that they are automotive and pay is under 40K. I have been trying to break into IT for the past few months and this looks like a great opportunity. :) I appreciate your comments.

Help Designating A Description To A Value...
Dec 11, 2006I have a scheduling unit that associates a number to a particular name.
In this example Break=66 and Lunch=76.
What I would like to do is setup something that will tell me "which break". Like "Break 1" and "Break 2"
Here is what I have to work with:
Emp# ID# Code StartMin Desc
6666 5555 66 870 Break
6666 5555 76 1005 Lunch
6666 5555 66 1150 Break
I tried this thinking it might designate it based on the StartMin:
Desc: IIf([Code]=66 And First([StMin]),"Break 1",IIf([Code]=66 And Last([StMin]),"Break 2","Lunch"))
However this still just shows each as "Break 1". Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Reports :: Hourly Rate - Calculated Totals Not Adding Up
Sep 5, 2013We recently have had a change to our hourly rate that we pay and now the Totals calculation is not adding up the numbers correctly.
In the query that the report is based from:
ExtendedTotal: CCur([Hours]*[Rate])
In the footer of the report: (Provides a Total for each Day)
Sub-Total: "Control Source" is: =Sum(CCur([ExtendedTotal]))
Report Footer: (Provides a Grand Total for the Month)
Total: "Control Source" is: =Sum([ExtendedTotal])
Problem comes in with the odd dollar rate time partial hours. For example:
$9.73 x 4.5 hours = $43.785 (Rounds to $43.79) which is fine...
but when you have a whole column of these rounded numbers, the totals are coming out off by pennies which add up to a good bit at the end of the month. I cannot match up the totals with the invoices that are coming in either.
Queries :: Average Call Rate - Determine If Trend Is Up Or Down
Jun 28, 2013I have a query that displays the average call rate on various pieces of equipment over the last 12 months. I was wondering if there is a way to have Access look at this query and determine if the call rates are trending up or down over that time frame. Kind of like a trend line would do on a chart in Excel, only I want this to show me the word Up or Down in my results. Is this possible?
Here is the query I am using:
Code:
TRANSFORM FormatNumber(Avg([All Call Rate]),2) AS AvgCallRate
SELECT List_With_TNC_tbl.Device, List_With_TNC_tbl.Model, List_With_TNC_tbl.[Item Num]
FROM List_With_TNC_tbl
GROUP BY List_With_TNC_tbl.Device, List_With_TNC_tbl.Model, List_With_TNC_tbl.[Item Num]

Tables :: Relating Transactions With Rate Master Table
Jan 28, 2013I am using Access 2007 and have inherited a database. It has linked tables of Excel spreadsheets that are information extracted from our main system. The user wants developing a much faster and customized approach to billing the customer based on payroll related information.
There is a table of payroll billing transactions and it has the following record lay-out,
job_num, employee number, employee name, union group, rank, regular hours, overtime hours, other hours, trans_date, seq_num
6430, 2301, john doe, 1, F, 8.0, 0.0, 0.0, 12/01/2012, 254333
On December 1st John Doe worked 8.0 regular hours as a pipefitter foreman on job number 6430 and this is record (sequence) number 254333.
There is another table that defines the union group. I am not concerned with this information at this time. The seq_num is a sequentially and uniquely assigned number given to each billing record in the main system.
There is also a Rate Master table and it has the following record layout,
job_num, union group, rank, regular_billing_rate, overtime_billing_rate, other_billing_rate
I am struggling as to how to relate these two tables so that I can develop some queries from it.

General :: Lookup Criteria - Rate To Calculate Salary
Sep 6, 2012I have one table with employees and positions. Each position has a specific rate which is stored in another table (table2). Since the rates of the positions are changing, I want each time the employee get paid with the correct rate.
The problem is that I do not want to lose historic data since I want the rate to calculate the salary. I thought that the best way is to look up for the rate according to the position and the period that is valid.
I have attached herewith a small example with the two table that I want to use the relationship.
Employee Payroll Forecasting - How To Account For Change In Pay Rate
Aug 27, 2014I have a table called tbl_Employee. The employee's hourly rate is one of the columns. I want to create a forecasting schedule that will find the work days between two dates, multiply by 8 (hours per day) and multiply by the hourly rate.
For example, Employee A has rate of $100/hr. We forecast they will work 250 work days from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015 so 250*8*100= $200,000.
However, on June 1, the rate for Employee A increases to $110. So the new forecast would be (125*8*100)+(125*8*110)=(100,000+110,000)=$210,000 .
How can I account for something like this?

Fetching A Reports Description Property
Jul 5, 2005I have list box of reports in a form and when selected i want to write the reports description propterty to a textbox.
I modified an example i found posted someplace (can't recall where) and it worked great - just like this (see below).
Then I put it into another database (exact same tables, form and and queries) and if there is a description in the query property it will always give me the error "Type mismatch".
Why?
The only difference I can see is that the working example db had the following References selected:
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Oject Library
... in that order.
My database where it is not working has selected:
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Is there a better way to fetch this property?
Or is there a setting I need to change - keeping in mind that changing these settings may cause the rest of my db to fail now...
Thanks A lot for any help you can give.
