J. LeRoy

I'm a New Access Developer learning to create a Tracking Data Application
with MS Access with VBA. I'm stock with my project because I can't see any
result in my coding. Would you please help to write a VBA code into Ms
Access 2003 to calculate difference days between days minus Saturday, Sunday,
And 10 days Holidays?

Best Regards,
Just
 
This method uses 3 queries. Create a table named Holidays with field named
Holiday (you might want a text field naming the holiday). Create a table
named CountNumber with field named CountNUM containing numbers from 0 (zero)
through you maximum spread.
Dates-Business_Days --
SELECT Dates_LeRoy.ID, Dates_LeRoy.Start, Dates_LeRoy.End,
DateAdd("d",[CountNUM],[Start]) AS [Days Between]
FROM CountNumber, Dates_LeRoy
WHERE (((DateAdd("d",[CountNUM],[Start]))<=[End]))
ORDER BY Dates_LeRoy.ID, DateAdd("d",[CountNUM],[Start]);

Dates-Business_Days_1 --
SELECT [Dates-Business_Days].ID, [Dates-Business_Days].Start,
[Dates-Business_Days].End, [Dates-Business_Days].[Days Between]
FROM [Dates-Business_Days] LEFT JOIN Holidays ON [Dates-Business_Days].[Days
Between] = Holidays.Holiday
WHERE (((Holidays.Holiday) Is Null))
ORDER BY [Dates-Business_Days].ID, [Dates-Business_Days].[Days Between];

Dates-Business_Days_2
SELECT [Dates-Business_Days_1].ID, [Dates-Business_Days_1].Start,
[Dates-Business_Days_1].End, Count([Dates-Business_Days_1].[Days Between]) AS
[CountOfDays Between]
FROM [Dates-Business_Days_1]
GROUP BY [Dates-Business_Days_1].ID, [Dates-Business_Days_1].Start,
[Dates-Business_Days_1].End;
 
Here is a function that does exactly that. Put it in a standard module and
you can call it from anywhere in your application. You will need a holiday
table with one record for each holiday. In this code the table name is
holidays and the field in holdate.

Dear Klatuu,
Thank you so much, I wrote the code but I do not get any value; I may not
doing it right. I created three tables: tblEmployee, tblHolidays and
"tblDailywork" that has StartDate and EndDate fields I'm trying to get the
result in the Number of Days field, therefore I set the code to be called
from the "frmDailywork" I'm not getting anything, and then I selected the
Number of Days's textbox and set to Before_Update in Event property I still
can't get a value. What can I do? Please can you assist me?

Again Thank you,

That is incorrect. The Shell statement is used to start external
applications, not open a form in your current database.

Maybe you could explain a bit more about what you are doing and where you
want to do this calculation.

Thank you so much, I finaly figure out: I just needed to create another form
