Hello Everyone
I need to make an employee schedule in access. I am not sure if it is possible, but here are my constraints:
20 employees
5-6 different truck locations (sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, sm6) These locations are scattered within our service area.
2 employees must meet at the same truck, (each truck has 2 employees working on it)
some employees can only meet at certain locations (ex. paul can meet at either sm2 or sm3)
all employees are PT so they can only work on certain days or a certain amount of days per week. (ex. paul can work up to 4 days a week and jim can work only sat and fri)
I would like to make a program in access that will take all these factors into consideration. EX. if i try to schedule paul on sm4 the program will not let me do it or it will give a warning or if i try to schedule paul for 5 days it will give me a warning.
It would also be great to have a counter that will show how many days each employee has left to be scheduled for, EX: if i scheduled paul for 2 days it will show that he can actually work 2 days more if i need him to.
I know this might be a lot, but i also know there are so many talented people here so i am sure it is feasible. Please let me know if you know how to do this or if you could guide me through it.
or if you know about a different program that can solve this please let me know
Thanks in advance
Hey thereI'm currently doing an ICT project for some school work, in which we all have to make access databases. My database is based around a fictional company that provide driving lessons. I've set most of the tables up including clients employees, bookings etc, but i'm wondering if its possible to implement a schedule within access?I would like to know if its possible for say if someone booked 2 hours of lesson, 2 blocks within the schedule table would be filled, or similar to a calender function, e.g. each day has 6 openings within it, and as these become booked the next day is filled.i've searched around a bit and can't really find anything but i'm very new to access so any advice would be much appreciated, or just being told that it isnt possible to implement such a schedule or calender would also be useful as then i wont be wasting time looking :PHope i've posted this in the right place, sorry if i haven't.Thanks in advance.BenJust found this website: http://www.aislebyaisle.com/access/calendartool.htmkinda similar to what i'm looking to do, just wanna know if theres anyway of doing this thats less complex? or free?
This should be a piece of cake for someone with a few experience years on me. I have a client for which I am building a custom database. They use this for various reasons. One main reason is to track man hours, cost, billing information on a per job/customer basis.
Each of their customers has a unique contract. Which specifies the information required in order to bill the customer for a job. For example: Customer "Big Factory" requires PO# and Job#.
The contract also specifies the billing rate for each piece of equipment and each type of employee. For example: For customer "Big Factory" again, we charge $10 a day for a pickup truck and $20 an hour for a welder. Customer "Little Factory" has a different contract with different rates and required fields.
*Now I have all of the above under control (in my opinion)*
Following is part is where I struggle. Each contract also specifies which hours (on a daily basis) are standard work hours and which are premium work hours, as well as, at what point (# of weekly hours) to start billing only premium hours during the remaining part of the week. For example: "Big Factory" Standard hours are from 07:00 to 17:00, Premium are from 17:00 to 07:00, Weekly premium start once an employee has worked 40 hours for that week regardless if the employee has worked some hours for another client(*Exceptions do exist where the employee must work 40 hours for the client before the weekly premium kicks in*).
I need this to automatically calculate for each employee. It must update each time sheet that the employee exists on.
Currently I have it working in a rather unorthodox way, but it isn't exactly scalable to work for each customer's unique contract. I can post how I have it, but it will be quite a long post. It has to do with a running sum query then a make table query then an update query.
One other caveat: My client pays their employees premium pay on a 40 hour work week (>40 per week is premium time) regardless of which hours they work. (Seems like they are ripping the employees off I know). I posted this once before, but had received only a negative post chewing me out for not being fair. Anyway...
I want to make something similar to the Google search box, although not quite as complicated.
I would like to be able to type more than one word in a search box. I am only searching on 1 field [Title]. The query would show all the records with the first search word in the Title, plus all the records with the second search word in the Title.
I have a query now that has the below in the Title field criteria: Like "*" & [forms]![Searchform]![searchcontrol] & "*"
This searches for the word typed into the searchcontrol no matter where the word is in the title. It works great, but I can only type in one word at a time.
The below Stored Procedure was refined to incorporate a UDF. My problem now is that I need it to be even more dynamic. I ideally need the user to have the option to select which fields are incorporated into the query. I have the front end framework although not sure currently how to make field selection dynamic...
SELECT dbo.tblClient.Country, dbo.tblClient.cName, dbo.tblClient.clientID, dbo.tblClient.Wholename, dbo.tblClient.TelNumberG, dbo.tblClient.TelNumberD, dbo.tblClient.City, dbo.tblPublication.pName FROM dbo.tblOrders INNER JOIN dbo.tblClient ON dbo.tblOrders.clientID = dbo.tblClient.clientID INNER JOIN dbo.tblPublication ON dbo.tblOrders.id = dbo.tblPublication.id WHERE (dbo.tblClient.Region IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputRegion,',') )) AND (dbo.tblPublication.pName IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputPub,',') )) AND (dbo.tblClient.Country IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputCountry,',') )) GO
This is becoming pretty complicated so any help appreciated.
I am having a bit of a delimma and am wondering if there is someone out there that could suggest how i could write a SQL statement that would alow me to return data in a certain way,
I have data as follows...
FIrst problemi is the Date in the LogDate COlumn is of Text Type not Date..
Second problem is i need to take this data and transform it to look like the table below
RCDIDEmployeeIDLogDateLogTimeTerminalIDInOut 411 07/23/200620:45:02iGuard# IN 421 07/23/200620:46:17iGuard# OUT 431 07/23/200620:48:08iGuard# IN 441 07/23/200620:48:18iGuard# OUT 451 07/23/200620:48:24iGuard# IN 461 07/23/200620:48:30iGuard# OUT 471 07/23/200620:48:36iGuard# IN 481 07/23/200620:48:41iGuard# OUT 501 07/23/200620:49:57iGuard# IN 511 07/23/200620:50:14iGuard# OUT 521 07/23/200620:59:34iGuard# IN 531 07/23/200620:59:40iGuard# OUT
I'm relatively new to Access and would like a few pointers...
I have been asked by work to create a schedule database. We would like to be able to put in dates and see who's working on that day, pull up an individual and see his/hers rota for a week. Also see if they have meetings, annual leave, sickness etc.... We want it to be a very primitive WFM tool. Is this possible and is it relatively easy? The database doesn't have to create the shifts, they will be imported from Excel....
Which leads me to believe I need to think of it differently to excel... Attached is an excel rota, which would need to be importred - but maybe I need to be think a lot differently.
I know thats a big question but any help would be appreciated, or pointers to more resources... Thanks Neil
I am using a handheld scanner to scan in barcodes. However the part numbers contain more data than I need. Is there a way to get ride of the extra data I scan in in Access.
Say I have part ABCD- 7G675 .. I only need 7g675 to be in the field. Is there a way to do this besides a find replace, that would take way to long.
After a week of hair pulling problems with no solution, I've decided to ask my question here, knowing someone will be able to help me...
To the point: I'm to use a QBF with more then one criteria, (I'm using: like "*" & forms![f_name]![TB_first_name] & "*" or is null), I'm having a problem with this because when I leave a text box blank, it retrieves everything (because is null = true), what I'm trying to say is: I have a QBF when using, lets say, 3 text boxes, unless I fill all of the text boxes with text, the query retrieves all of the records, can it be fixed ? I've tried to use IIF but with no success... can anyone help ? :confused:
and another problem: while trying to import data which is not in English, from a Visual FoxPro data base to access, it turns out unreadable, what can I do to transform ASCII to ANSI or Unicode? :confused:
Hello gurus I have a d/base (Access 2000) and within this I need to filter out some records
insurnace related so I have a location code of ten venues coded 2-11 in a table and I need to extract out informaiton on all of these in one table
I date a date of event and a sum insured , what I need is date difference between date to be enter on a form (default Now()) and the date of the event - this is the easy bit
Now i need to split these out in batches of 30 days into columns ie 1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 etc until >240 days
the sums insured need to be in the right date column
example event 1 sum insured @ 25,000 is 45 days away from now so it should appear in the 31-60 column and if there more than 2 events at that venue one being 45 days and the other being 55 and with sums insured @ 25,000 and 35,000 I need them to either be on a line each or combined to give a total of 60,000 in the 31-60 date column
There could be up to 20,000 - to 100,000 of which the code will extract the venue codes of 2-11 and these could be high hundreds records to check and this will be a regularly run question
any thoughts on this would be welcome - each appraoch I take seems to weird and getting nowhere -
i thought about putting a date difference field on my table but it doesn't seem liek the right thing to do as I would have to update this consantly or rather remember to run this query before I run my report - and this just seems wrong
I'm a newbie (I know nothing in VBA & SQL but I'm learning) and I've a database of 10 tables. I want to make a query & form to search through these tables and display results(in a form & report) according to the search criteria.
ok, i have just had a lengthly conversation with my user and i need an advanced search system.
what i would need is a search function, that does not only list the full field details from each record in the combos..
here is what i mean.. i have a quotation form with different locations and prices in a list box. i have a text box at the top of the form with an onchange event that alters the results in the list box.
so if the user types 'a'.. only the axxxxx records are displayed.. if they type 'ab' only the 'abxxxx records are shown.. and so on.
because my customer may not remember the exact address of their pickup or destination, i cant use this system, because i wont know the first letter of the details previously entered..
eg.. a user may have been picked up from '5 house street, new hampshire crescent.
if all the customer remembers is 'hampshire crescent.. then the above system will not reveal my record..
therefore i would need a search box at the top that allows me to search for any word (or identical consecutive characters) within a chosen field.
can this advanced string search be done in access?
My company just sent all of our contacts to a data company for them to update and "scrub" them with what they have. We sent out 5000 contacts (company, contacts, address, etc) and they sent back a list 0f 2000 that they matched in their database and gave us the "updated" version.
My question is...what is the best way to upload them back into the database replacing the original versions without losing the other data the Scrubbing company didn't have?
Please help me if you can. We are in a state of panic right now in trying to figure this out and any help would be appreciated.
Basically I have tried many different angles and have not come up with a solution that works. I have spent 80+ hours trying to figure this out with no luck.
Here is what we need to do: We have a database that has data that needs to be printed on a 3"x6" sized tag. Now there are probably 5 or so different tags that need to be printed. What we need to happen is be able to provide a way to print out all the tags at the same time. The problem is I cannot seem to create one report that will generate all the tags correctly (I could create the code to do this in a form, but I can't get it to work in a report), and I don't know how I would combine multiple reports so that all the tags can be printed at once.
Do you have any ideas on how I can do something like this?
I am looking at setting up appointments and having Access automaticly schedule the next appointment in either 6 months or a year depending on the Vender. I've search the forum and can't find anything.
For Example if their last appointment was 12-1-05 I would like access to automaticly schedule the next appoint 12-1-06.
Hi i would like to know if it is possible to schedule a a task in access, at the moment i refresh all my excel report by using a button on a form in access and would like ot know if i can do this automatically
I have a database that is split. We want to be able to schedule a compact & repair on the back end. Is there a way within access to schedule a compact and repair?
I have two similar spreadsheets. One has about 6500 contacts with email addresses. The other has about 4000 contacts with street addresses. How do I join them into one more versatile database. I have Access 2003, been reading Access 2003 for dummies, I gotta get this figured out soon. :confused:
I know this isn't strictly access but I'm running out of ideas.
I have a merge from my DB to Word and then Word to Outlook. It works quite well but there are a few things I would like to implement to save time for my users.
1) After the data has been merged with word is there a way to automatically fill in the subject field and send it as an email to outlook i.e macro/scrpit in word, access commands
2) Can I have an automatic way of chaning who the mail is sent from. I use my DB to send emails to artists to tell them they are going to be played on our playlists. Each show has a different email (the presenters email). The current method I use is to have my user change his default mail address in outlook to the presenters then do the merge.
But he then has to wait for all the mails to send, then change the default again and repeat. This can turn a 2 min job into 30 mins because of the waiting. It also adds a human error potential of selecting the wrong mail address.
Any ideas what I can do to remedy these? Perhaps a decent third-party add-in?
I have successfully found - find directory and its pretty good (awesome comes to mind) and many thanks to ghudson - now this does more that I wanted which is great and I can move my project along further that I had envisaged - now where I get stuck is i want the form to to open up at each folder I have set up I have make directory button (forgotten where I got this from but many thanks again) DirName = "C:Datafiling" & Left(Me!QteNo, 6) & " " & Left(Me!QteInsnme, 40) I am now trying to get the open form to look at this location
i tried tweaking the code to the above - but It didn't work am I being a muppet i attached a copy of ghudson zip file with this in (I've renamed so I have kept the orginal safe) the form I am trying to open and look at is the one that ends **table
If you have not had the chance to view these (highly recomemnd it)
I have been developing a website where users enter details about positions that they would like to fill. Other users enter details of positions that are available. I currently run a ranking query for users that matches from the options they enter which positions best match their profile in a ranked order.
I'm using an Access Database and ASP. The query is taking a very long time to run.
This is how I have the query built at the moment.

I wan't to create special query who show only special package. It must work that.
1. Client logg in. System rember his chose. varPrawa="Client" and varIDLogin=5
2. Client click at button "Show Your Package". At that moment query haven't got any criteria so it show every package but it must show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin so only package with IDClient=5 it is easy to create. I tell more it is still easy to join other person but only with varPrawa="Client" i want to create one query who must select by.
WHEN varPrawa="Client" then show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Kurier" then show only package with IDKurier=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Spedytor" then show only package with IDSpedytor=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Administrator" then show all package without varIDLogin criteria.
I create subraport who use chosen package in my list and display all special data using varaible but my problem is how to create query whose can select and display only package of that Client or Kurier or Spedytor.
At the end
When Client is online he can see only his packages special IDClient (any IDKurier, IDSpedytor) When Kurier is online he can see only his packages special IDKurier (any IDClient, IDSpedytor) When Spedytor is online he can see only his packages special IDSpedytor (any IDClient, IDKurier) When Administrator is on line he can see all packages (any IDClient, IDKurier, IDSpedytor)
I am trying to create a database to schedule customer visits. I would like to enter a beginning date and a frequency (IE every week or every two weeks) and then be able to print a schedule by entering a date range. Very similar to how MS Outlook calendar performs. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Chad
I want to automatically create interview slots. On a form I've got an interview set up and there is a one to many relationship with a table containing interview slots. I want the user to key in the start time of interviews and the end time and the duration of the interview. It should then create the records (time slots) and display them.
I assume it will be some kind of append query, but to be honest I just don't know where to start.
Please help. A cyber pint goes to the boffin that susses it.
I have 6 machines that run jobs Monday thru Friday but I will focus on doing one machine to avoid confusion.
The machine will be running 23 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and 18 hours on Friday and is shut down on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning at 5am (start of the work week) Job A starts. The job will run for 30 hours. Then Job B will run for 160 hours. I need to know when Job B will start and end. Although it would be nice to know the time of day, just knowing the date would be good enough.
As I said I have 6 machines and each one is running anywhere from 7 to 10 jobs. My end result could be nothing more than a report, but a datasheet form would be ideal. On Mondays, new jobs are added and schedule is updated based on actual productivity from the prior week.
how to go about creating a report that lists a traditional style class schedule?
I would like the times on the X axis and the days of the week along the Y axis. Ideally, the name of the class and student list would be included.
I have all this information in a database, but right now my classes are being generated in an excel program (by hand) and I'd like to automate it somewhat since some class information is being changed on weekly basis.
