Start Job, Finish Job times... - Microsoft Access / VBA

Craig Coope

I may be barking up the wrong tree here (maybe I can do all this in
Excel) but...

I have created an Excel sheet that lets me input job start and finish
times and the amount of work done within the jobs so that I can work
out "total work per hour" etc....it works very well but I have to
input the times and workload manually...

Now is there anyway Excel or Excel linked with Access can be used so
that for example, someone comes along and hits "start" at the start of
their job and "finish" at the end of it so that the times of these
button presses are recorded by the PC itself (and thus using Excel
it'll work out total job time etc)?

I am a novice at Access but I'm willing to spend time to do this...I
just want to know if it will be possible...

Basially I just want a nic frontend with start job and finish job on
it with corresponding buttons....

Any Help would be appreciated!

That would be very easy to do.

Create a table with fields like StartTime, EndTime, JobNumber. Create a
form based on that table. Add two buttons (Start and Stop). Fill in the
JobNumber control. On the on-click event of the start button, assign the
current time to the StartTime control. On the on-click event of the stop
button assign the then current time to the StopTime control. Hit enter and
the record is added to the database table.

To get the time devoted to a job run a query to get stopTime - StartTime by
JobNumber.

START TRANSACTION

by: Frank Natoli | last post by:

Does START TRANSACTION and COMMIT apply only to the Connection for which the START TRANSACTION statement was performed? So if a second Connection is created, and used to access different tables in the same database, are the tables affected by the second connection visible to other processes as the changes are made, not masked by the START TRANSACTION on the first Connection? Thanks.

Calling a "Setup.exe" using Process.Start()

by: Wardeaux | last post by:

All, I've written a "setup" wrapper that calls a sequence of "setup.exe", and all works except when I call the setup.exe for the MSDE, then it gets about half way through and then hangs... The MSDE setup works fine from a CMD prompt... anyone know of articles or known issues with this technique, and what are my alternatives to having my user install several "Commandline parameter intensive" setups to get this installed? :) MTIA wardeaux

Hours per WorkWeek calculated from Start / Finish Dates?

by: lottaviano | last post by:

My table lists pieces of equipment and the date/time they are taken down for maintenance, and date/time maintenance is complete (put back up to production). Sometimes these dates/times are within the same WorkWeek, but sometimes a piece of equipment is down for multiple weeks at a time. I need to calculate the % of time "up" per workweek. For example, if a piece of equipment went down on Wednesday, June 7 and was not back up until...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
