SQL PROBLEMS

Hello richard_gar,

That suggests that your EventDate column is using a [n][var]char data type.  Is this true?  If so, can you
switch to datetime or smalldatetime?

Regards,

well the thing is the table I am getting the data from has the clock in/out times in one column and I split that into two colums for my application to read it correctly

Example: 20/03/2009 13:12:00

So I have created a query in my database that the SQL code calls and in the query I split the data in the table I am getting the data from into two columns by doing the following in my query in MS ACCESS

SELECT CashierLog.CashierCode, CashierLog.CashierName, CashierLog.EventType, CDate(Format([EventDateTime],'dd/mm/yyyy')) AS EventDate, Format([EventDateTime],'Short Time') AS EventTime
FROM CashierLog;

Hi,
If the type of the data columns in database is DateTime then try the following query.

sql = "SELECT qCashierLog.CashierName, (SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM qCashierLog qC WHERE qC.EventType = 1 AND qC.CashierCode = qCashierLog.CashierCode AND qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate) AS [In], " & _
                  "(SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM qCashierLog qC WHERE qC.EventType = 2 AND qC.CashierCode = qCashierLog.CashierCode AND (qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate OR qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate + 1)) AS Out, PayRate, EventDate, iif([In]>[Out], DateDiff('n',[In],[Out]), DateDiff('n',[In],[Out])) AS Hours FROM qCashierLog " & _
                  "INNER JOIN Cashier ON qCashierLog.CashierCode = Cashier.Code " & _
                  "WHERE EventType = 1 AND EventDate BETWEEN Convert(DateTime, '" & DateFrom.Value & "', 103) AND Convert(DateTime, '" & DateTo.Value & "', 103) ORDER BY EventDate"

Select allOpen in new window

getting erro: Undefined function 'Convert' in expression.

I think you are using SQL Server 2000. If so then try this

sql = "SELECT qCashierLog.CashierName, (SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM qCashierLog qC WHERE qC.EventType = 1 AND qC.CashierCode = qCashierLog.CashierCode AND qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate) AS [In], " & _
                  "(SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM qCashierLog qC WHERE qC.EventType = 2 AND qC.CashierCode = qCashierLog.CashierCode AND (qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate OR qC.EventDate = qCashierLog.EventDate + 1)) AS Out, PayRate, EventDate, iif([In]>[Out], DateDiff('n',[In],[Out]), DateDiff('n',[In],[Out])) AS Hours FROM qCashierLog " & _
                  "INNER JOIN Cashier ON qCashierLog.CashierCode = Cashier.Code " & _
                  "WHERE EventType = 1 AND EventDate BETWEEN CDate'" & DateFrom.Value & "') AND CDate('" & DateTo.Value & "') ORDER BY EventDate"

Select allOpen in new window

I would have to guess you are not using MS SQL Server, but isntead are using MS Access.

If it is SQL Server 2000 (or above), our experience with date matching shows that you we have to customize the date values as follows:

Start Date
Format(DateFrom.Value, "yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00")

End Date
Format(DateTo.Value, "yyyy-MM-dd 23:59:59")

Replace your original query with the above and see the result. Hope it helps.

I am using access as the database

Use the cdate function then.
