Recall records with Date and Time

Have a survey db that utilizes time zones and timestamps with a delay to pull
records up based on the last entry in the record. Now I need to add a
CallBack Date and CallBack Time and that needs to supercede the delay on the
timestamps.
Any ideas?

What's a "delay"? What's the context? How do you "utilize"?

More info please!
 
Here is the delay code:
Dim delayhold

delayhold = Globs.gintRecallAttemptsAfter * 0.2499

sqlstring(8) = "(((InUse) Is Null) AND (((Now())-([Attempt1TS])) Is
Null Or ((Now())-([Attempt1TS]))>=" & delayhold & " AND [Attempt2TS] Is Null)
Or (((InUse) Is Null) AND ((Now())-([Attempt2TS])) Is Null and
((Now())-([Attempt1TS]))>=" & delayhold & " Or ((Now())-([Attempt2TS]))>=" &
delayhold & " AND [Attempt3TS] is null) OR (((InUse) Is Null) AND
((Now())-([Attempt3TS])) Is Null AND ((Now())-([Attempt1TS]))>=" & delayhold
& " AND ((Now())-([Attempt2TS]))>=" & delayhold & " Or
((Now())-([Attempt3TS]))>=" & delayhold & ")))"

I have added 4 (x represents 1-4 on the attempts) sets of
AttemptXCallBackDate and AttemptXCallBackTime and can't get the record with a
CallBack Date and Time field to override the above code.

So your delayhold is in units of 0.2499 days? You're aware that a date/time
field is store in units of days, right? Could you perhaps use the DateDiff()
function rather than Now()-[Attempt2TS]?

I'm just not sure I understand the logic here.
 
The reason we are using the .2499 days is we have a configuration table which
allows them to set recall of the survey (record) based on 6 hours, 12 hours,
18 hours or 24 hours and now we want to supercede it with the callbackdate
and callbacktime

I'm sorry, drc, but I've read this several times and I really have no idea
what you're talking about. You're assuming that strangers like me will
understand your business process, what the "configuration table" is, and what
"supercede" is all about.
