Hi Zohaib,

I want to create a tool using macro and access as a database. This tool should collate all the data entered by different users and store it in the database. There are arround 200 exceptions on which the work(volumes) comes. There are 90 agents who work on those volumes and should enter the data in this tool to finally pull up the end od day report so as to how many volumes did the agent processed in that day.

This tool should also calculate the login hours of the particular agent(Total 9 hrs in a day) and their break time(2 fifteen minutes break and an half an hour break ie a total of 1 hr out of 9 hrs). Every users should have an unique login ID to access this tool. We work on a remote based citrix server so have a restrictions on most of the applications however excel is still the best and if this tool can be made using VB programming it could reduce a lot of manual work in regards to reporting and save a lot of time. If you want more details i can send you some more information along with some attachments via email, just send me a test mail.

Regards,

Shanx

Hi shanx.gr,

Well, using Excel VBA to create a user form to enter data is a great idea. However, it has the problem of Concurrent Multiuser Access which means many people cannot use the same excel sheet at the same time. While one person is working on a sheet other cannot work on it. Rather I would suggest you to make a user form using a programming language such as Visual Basic which has coding similar to Excel VBA. Reply if you need help on how to design such a form.

Please do write back to us.
