Good evening, I am new to MS Access & I am trying to figure out how to make a button that time stamps IN & OUT times/dates for a day care. (Also, another one for employees).
I don't know much about coding. Currently, I've got my ClientID as an employee number and their respective names and info linked to that.
But how do I create a simple to use button interface that would allow an employee to simply enter a name (or search), then click Sign In / Sign Out to time stamp that time to a field of records for me to later query for data, calculate cost of attendance, etc.
Thank you in advance.

Context:
Due to the remote nature of working, the team I work in each have a laptop that they're using for their role (we have thinkpad displaylink units when in the office to connect the laptop to screens). I am working to improve the current allocation records file, which was just a big spreadsheet that you just added a new user to the bottom row. It was messy and hard to read at times, so i've decided to move the data into MS Access and created my data entry and user lookup form, which are working perfectly and make the job easier. I have also been able to make a number of reports that will come in handy too (who has what model ect).
Query:
Now the issue is, each of the laptops have a warranty and I am able to produce reports which lists the users and their warranty due date, but this will show all the warranty dates, whether they've been passed or in the future. I want to be able to produce 2 report/queries, the first that will just bring up the laptops who have a warranty that have expired, then another one to bring up those who will expire within the next 6 months so that we can make relevant decisions.
If anyone can assist with this, it will be welcome.
Apply filter criteria to report when opening. Either have parameters in report RecordSource or use code (VBA or macro) to build criteria for OpenReport method WHERE CONDITION argument. Expressions for criteria (ExpireDate is field, substitute with your field name):
[ExpireDate] <= Date();
[ExpireDate] BETWEEN Date() AND DateAdd("m", 6, Date())
I am making a booking system on MSAccess using VBA. On my form I have fields for creating a new booking which is then to be added to a database on SQL server. I have a combo box set up to allow the user to select and activity and it then fills out the ID of the activity and the duration of the activity. This duration is a number 1 or 2 or 3 etc for how many hours the activity takes.
However my question relates to calculating a finish time for the user. I wish the finish time textbox to be auto filled out when the user selects a start time from a list of times for example, 9:00:00 (To match the format the times are stored on the sql server) and having selected an activity by adding these together. So far I have tried something like this.
Me.txtFinishTime.Text = Me.cmbStartTime.Value + Me.txtDuration.Value
It could be:
Me!txtFinishTime.Value = DateAdd("h", Me!txtDuration.Value, CDate(Me!cmbStartTime.Value))
Hi currently i am making a Table with 21 Columns ("Task, Name, Time Taken") Each group, so total 7 groups.
Task combo consist of "WIP, HOLD, Quality Check"
Name combo consist of "Mark, John, Alex"
Time taken is a number field "only minutes" like 150, 200, 300 etc
At the end i have 3 columns which is for total time taken for "WIP, HOLD, Quality Check"
My Requirements:
a) When i select a Task (eg. WIP) auto the name should block with the user logged in "I have created a employee table with login form its working fine"
b) When the task selected as "WIP" and entered the "Time Taken" may be multipal times wit there groups. only the WIP total time should calculate and reflect on "TOTAL TIME TAKEN for WIP column"
Please help me ... it may be confusing but let me know if your unable to understand.
Thanks in advance.
What you're describing doesn't sound normalized at all. I'm not entirely clear on your situation but I believe you need to have two at least two tables. If you don't know what normalization is then
What is Normalisation (or Normalization)?
is a good place to start
As for the last 3 columns with the total time. You shouldn't put that in a table. Once you have a table you should always have a query total it up for you.
First of all, your table should have 5 columns. ID, Task, Name, TimeTaken, GroupName. Unless you have a need to show 7 groups simultaneously on the same form? You can filter the data at any time based on GroupName.
For part a, it sounds like your login form should be able to feed your Name combo? Just set ComboName.SelectedValue to whatever your user's name is.
For part b, I just don't understand what you're asking. Can you clarify?
i have a database used at work for evaluating calls, the database is somewhat dated and originally created on Access XP. Once evaluated these calls are given a score out of 5 which is entered along with other data (such as date, employee name, etc) on a form. I have the reports set up so they generate when you enter the employee name and then the start of a date period and the end of a date period, the report will then generate and show the entries made between those 2 dates. i am trying to include a section on the report which shows an average of the call score for the employee for the period chosen. I understand this may be pretty simple but i'm struggling! cheers, Kris
If you want to work out group calculations on reports, you can either put them in the group header/footer, or report header/footer (for calculations over the whole report).
In this case, placing a textbox with something like =AVG([CallScore]) as the control source in the Report Footer should work.
This page should explain more about using aggregate functions in reports: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/access-help/summing-in-reports-HA001122444.aspx
I would like to be able to copy the total "Time Spent" from a Task on the Time sheet to the Task "Actual" field. This way I can use the Time Sheet to enter the time I've spent on a task and see the value (in the form of the "Actual" column) on the Team Status page. Suggestions the best way to tackle this? I'm new to the Rally APIs so not sure where to start.
The Time Spent field only exists on the Task Detail Page. It is not actually stored in the on the object and thus not returned in the WSAPI. If you wanted to update the Actual value for a task you would have to sum up the hours field on the TimeEntryValue.
My recommendation would be to use a fetch that looks something like
fetch="Hours,TimeEntryItem,Task"
That would give you everything you need in one query.
