Hello everyone
Need help and I cannot find the answer anywhere yet I am sure this is a common requirement for a lot databases.
I am building a database to enter staff phone statistics. As an example my fields would be - Name, Date, Staffed time, Available time, Aux time and then calculated fields to show the percentage of time i.e %Aux, %Available etc.
My problem is the formatting of the times entered as they are duration not time. Say staffed time is entered as 08:00:00 for 8 hours and Aux time 03:57:21. The only format I can see to suit is date time but then Access takes these entries as 8am and 3:57am is there a way to change this to work as duration hh:mm:ss? I am becoming very frustrated with this.
Thank you in advance
PS i have very basic knowledge of Access
