Time Keeping DB - Best Field Format for Working Out Hours Worked

[q582gmzhi]

Hi, I am creating a time keeping db.

Before I jump in and start creating a way to record times worked I thought it best to ask for advice.

The db is created and the last part is to capture by member:
Basically I have the following fields:

MemberID
Job Type
Date of Job
Time Started
Time Finished

From the data captured I need to create a report to show month and ytd hours worked.

It would be easy to ask the user to calculate the hours worked and input the number of hours, however I would like to capture start and finish times.

Can anyone give me any pointers on the best field types and field formats for capturing times which would then make it easier to work out hours worked.

Thanks in advance

Darrell.....

Hello:
As a start, for your Time Started and Time Finished fields, you want to use the date/time data type.
