Hello,
I'm stumped and I'm hoping someone could help me figure out the best
way to track daily attendance for the next 6-4 months.
I have a list of 80 or so participants who should be attended training
on a daily basis and am tracking if they attended, have an unexcused
absence, or are absence with an excuse. At the end of the month, I plan
to print out reports on those who have missed more than one day with an
unexcused absence. My query will show the number of days missed over
the number of days training has been provided to give me a percentage
of days missed.
I understand that over the next 6-9 months, there are a number of days!
Should I just create a sheet with the participants ID and Name and
start the next column heading as May 1, then May 2...all the way to end
of the training program? Should I have one table for May, another for
June, or put all the dates in one table? Is there a better way to do
this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The textbook example would have three tables,
One for students
StudentID
FullName
Phone,
etc.
The next is Status,
1=present,
2=Absent(Excuse ),
3=Absent(no Excuse)
4=Late
etc.
The last is Attendance which contains
StudentID
Date
Status
every schoolday, you run an append query which adds a record for
each student, the current date, optionally a default status.
Then the teacher changes status as required.

A couple of notes for using Bob's suggestion ----
1. Don't name your date field in the Attendance table "Date". "Date" is an
Access reserved word and must not be used as a field name. Sooner or later
you will experience a problem if you do.
2. Do not set up your attendance form where you have to enter the date for
each record. Create a routine to create the dates you need for any class
month and then incorporate the routine in a query to automatically generate
the dates.
3. If you don't have too many different types of Status, use an option
group bound to Status on your form. This will give you multiple checkboxes
where you can check the appropriate Status for each student.

In an option group you typically want multiple radio buttons, allowing
for exclusive selection of one option among several. Checkboxes should
only be used where multiple can be selected.,

I'm being generous and assuming that "multiple checkboxes" should have read
"numerous radio buttons". :-)
