HI i was wondering if anyone could help. I am doing a database for a fuels company. They want to know when fuel has been dry for over 24 hours. There is a 'dry time' field which is actually calculated off the runout date and the delivery date. I thought i would simply have to put >24:00 in the dry time field, but this does not work. The field type has been set to text, and so im assuming this is why this does not work. There are over 8000 records so i can't obviously change these manually. I am wondering if there is anyway around this?
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
Does anyone know how to write the criteria which includes both the date and time. for example, I want it to be the system's date and my specified date. e.g. (date() 14:00:00)
I'm trying to build a query for a customer that will automatically run without making them enter a date and time. Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date] Is there a way to make a query auto run a date and time with out entering a date and time?
I have a linked SQL table with a Date/Time field called DATE. ALL I WANT TO DO is pluck all the records with a single date from that table.
Predictibly, the date field has values like this: 9/11/2006 12:40:46 PM
If in the MS-Access query I use criteria of #9/11/2006# I get other dates also. I have tried variations on Date() or DatePart but those either fail or don't work. Sheesh.
ULTIMATELY, I want to restrict records to a specific date, and then a certain hour of that date, so if you can include this bit of additional logic in your response, that'd be great too. Note: I am trying to structure a query, not write code.
I am running a query linked to a mainframe database. The Entered Date field is formatted like this: 2/14/2007 1:14:00 AM. I want to run my query to show all data greater than an entered date at 5AM. So I tried using this for a query criteria >[ENTER START DATE]+#5:00:00 AM# , but Access says the query criteria is typed incorrectly or is too complex. Below are variations of the criteria I tried to use but none would work.
This criteria does work >(Date()-1)+#5:00:00 AM# , but I really want the user to be prompted to enter a start date because on Monday the report has to go back 3 days, if there's a holiday it has to go back 2 days, etc. The reports always have to begin at 5am of the starting date.
Hello, I am having a little trouble trying to get a criteria to work with a query in a database that someone else has passed to me.
In an InputTable there is in a field called DateIn with properties of date and time (general date). I want to be able to create a report that will allow the user to just chose to run the query for one day. Eg. Run the query using a dateinput of 2/01/2008. It just returns all of the records and ignores the criteria. I do not normally have this problem and was wondering where I should be looking.
SELECT InputTable.OrderNo, InputTable.[Customer Name], InputTable.Postcode, InputTable.ReturnsRef, InputTable.Description, InputTable.Unwanted, InputTable.POReturn, InputTable.Faullty, InputTable.Damaged, InputTable.Mispicked, InputTable.Replacement, InputTable.ItemRefund, InputTable.PostageRefund, InputTable.QReason, InputTable.QResolution, InputTable.DateIn, InputTable.Type FROM InputTable WHERE (((InputTable.DateIn)=#1/2/2008#) Many thanks in anticipation.
I am creating a query with criteria for a dates column. The column cotaining dates in my Table has many empty fields. I want to limit the criteria for my dates to >#1/1/2004#, but I don't want Access to exclude all the empty fields because I want all the data displayed for the purposes of my report.
What do I do? I'm not terribly familiar with Access, so please explain as completely as possible. Thanks in advance!
I have created a database in Access XP (2002). In a nutshell, the database records numbers of people attending a seminar; which can take place any number of times per week, and so hence can take place any number of times per month.
I have set up the query so that it can run immediately after a seminar to show the attendants who attended the seminar on that current date "Date()" in the criteria box. However, how would I go about setting it up so that it shows who attended every seminar in the current week or month?
I'm trying to setup a query to pull only the records that have the latest date in Time Scanned for each different serial number.
I have a table with 4 fields: Serial Number, Model Number, Location and Time Scanned. Some records will have the same Serial Number repeated with different Model numbers,locations and times scanned.
I can't figure out how to query only the Last Time Scanned for each different Serial Number. I've tried using "Last" for critria on the time scanned field, but I need that for each different serial number.
It's probably easy...but I'm not able to get it. Thanks!
ID Up Time Down Time John 18:00 15:00 Kelvin 08:00 08:05 Melisa 23:00 02:00
This is the Table , i need the Query result show IF [Up Time]-[Down Time] is >=3 hrs
Like Below :
ID Up Time Down Time John 18:00 15:00 Melisa 23:00 02:00
IDUp TimeDown TimeJohn18:0015:00Melisa23:0002:00
I tried DateDiff("h",[Up Time],[Down Time]) in Field but POP out with error "Syntax error (comma) in query expression 'Table1.[DateDiff("h",[Up Time],[Down Time])]' " ...
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 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.
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.
I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).
However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.
