counting/loops/adding records.

2 New Member
I am working with an attendance database that holds records for each employee for when they are absent. For every 30 days WORKED for each employee I need to have the database automatically add a record. (it's an overly complicated attendance policy)
Can this be done with a query and SQL or will I have to code in VBA? I am not super proficient in this so any detailed help would be great. I know the syntax for adding records but am not sure how to code the loop that it counts the days for each employee separately.

I do have different Employee and Attendance tables.

In table Employee you need to have fields like:
WorkStart (Date - work starting date)
WorkEnd (Date - date employee left the employer)

In table Attendance you need a field:
LastLog (Date - date when last log was done)


1. You need to select all the employees currently working (WorkEnd is null) as a recordset
2. Loop through each of them using if statement like:
If Date - MyMax > 30 Then
Run update query here to add a new record

Note: MyMax is max LogDate from table attendance for that employee

hello, I have a query that is supposed to return only 1 record, however I recently found that because of an error in the database it can return more than 1. So what I need to do is capture if it is more than 1 record and alert the user to contact the database administrator. How can I get the count of records returned by a recordset? Is there no way besides looping through with a counter variable?

This is my third question about eliminating accounting entries in a clinical database, yet retaining the valid record. Latest wrinkle is being able to sum the visits to the doctor, and the units of services received. The units cannot be less than the visits, you get a least one unit per visit. Here's the problem: If a visit is wrongly coded, then a reverse entry is made as follows. PTID CODE UNITS 1 100 ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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.
