Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: Military Time

    No one works over the end of the day? IOW, no one works a 9 pm to 3 am shift?

          1137 is in the morning and 1239 would be in the afternoon
          And 1705 is the afternoon and eight hours later would be 0105 the next day, a shift spanning the end of one day and the start of the next.

          Date/time would be easier.

            Re: Military Time

            Yes sir I can agree to that, the reason I was using military time is, if someone clocked in at 9:00 am and clocked out at 9:35 pm, how can the program tell the difference between the times if its on the same date?

              Re: Military Time

              IF YOU USE THE "TOSECONDS()" conversion, and if the 2nd time is < 1st time, add 86400 to it (24hrs) then do your subtraction

              Code:
              ?toseconds("5:00 PM")
= 61200

?toseconds("1:30 AM")
= 5400

DIM endtime as N 
 
endtime = 86400+5400

dim tottime as N
tottime = endtime - 61200

DIM tothrs as N

tothrs = tottime/3600
?tothrs
= 8.5

                Better off using time fields.

                  Thank you Stan, that is what I am looking for, I have another question. In the report section I tried the formula you gave me and it works great for hours, but the minutes just adds up and does not add the hour (if over 60 minutes) example in the attachment it shows total 15 hours and 62 minutes, can you show me how to change this so it would show 16 hours and 2 minutes thanks

                      Thanks Stan, I need your help again, I have tried several things but to no avail. Can you take the attachment you did and add a total for field ID, employee works 3 day in the pay period, it would give me a total for that employee and then a grand total like you already have done, thanks
