Assuming you have a date/time in and a date/time out field, then this should be pretty easy to do. Build a query and have a field like this: PayDate: IIF(Hour([MyLoginDateTimeField])<7),DateSerial(Year([MyLogin...]),Month([MyL ogin...]),Day([MyLogin..])-1,DateSerial(Year([MyLogin...]),Month([MyLogin... ]),Day([MyLogin..])) Group by the new PayDate field (and your user field), then just sum the differences between the login times and the logout times. If you subtract one date/time from another, as long as you don't go over 24 hours, you will get the actual time spent. (Just use the Hour() and Minute() function to get the values you need.)

Putting together a small application to calculate time cards. Running into some problems with the shift changes. This manufacturing firm uses a 7:00 am to 7:00 am day running three shifts. I've found several examples for calculating time cards in the knowledge base, but none seem to address the fact the "third shift" runs from 11:00 pm to 3:00 am. Of course, this means that one hour of the shift occurs on one date, and the other seven hours occur on the following date. I need to test the time input by the clerk and then based on the start and end times, determine which shift the hours fall between, then calculate time worked on each shift for each employee. Employees may clock in and out more than once during a day, and may also work overtime, as well as spread their hours between more than one shift. Most of this is already written, however, I am stumpled as to how to handle the third shift time differential?
