Designing The rptTimeSheet Report

The rptTimeSheet report is much more complex than the rptClientListing report. It includes two subreports: rsubTimeSheet and rsubTimeSheetExpenses. The rptTimeSheet report is shown in Figure 6.35. It's based on a query called qryTimeSheet. It contains fields from both tblTimeCards and tblEmployees.

The rptTimeSheet report has a Page Header that includes the title of the report, but nothing else is found within the Page Header. The TimeCardID header contains the EmployeeName and DateEntered from the qryTimeSheet query. The report's Detail section contains the two subreports rsubTimeSheet and rsubTimeSheetExpenses. The TimeCardID footer has a text box that contains the grand total of hours and expenses. The expression within the text box is =[rsubTimeSheet].[Report]![txtTotalHourlyBillings]+[rsubTimeSheetExpenses]._ [Report]![txtTotalExpenseAmount]

The easiest way to build the expression is to use the Expression Builder.

The Page Footer holds two expressions, one for the date and another for the page number. They look like this:
=Now()
="Page " & [Page] & " of " & [Pages]

The rsubTimeSheet report is based on qrySubTimeSheet; this query contains the following fields from the tblProjects and tblTimeCardHours tables:
tblProjects: ProjectName
tblTimeCardsHours: TimeCardID, TimeCardDetailID, DateWorked, WorkDescription,_
BillableHours, BillingRate, and the expression HourlyBillings:_ [tblTimeCardHours].[BillingRate]*[BillableHours]

The design of rsubTimeSheet is shown in Figure 6.37. This subreport can easily be built from a wizard. Select all fields except TimeCardID and TimeCardDetailID from qrySubTimeSheets. View the data by tblTimeCardHours. Don't add any groupings and don't sort the report. When you're finished with the wizard, modify the design of the report. Remove the caption from the Report Header and move everything from the Page Header to the Report Header. Collapse the Page Header, remove everything from the Page Footer, and add a Report Footer with the expression =Sum([HourlyBillings]).

Change the format of the HourlyBillings and the TotalHourlyBillings controls to Currency. Use the Sorting and Grouping window to sort by TimeCardID and TimeCardDetailID.

The rsubTimeSheetExpenses report is based on qrySubTimeSheetExpense, which contains the following fields from the tblProjects, tblExpenseCodes, and tblTimeCardExpenses tables:
tblProjects: ProjectName
tblTimeCardsExpenses: TimeCardID, TimeCardExpenseID, ExpenseDate, ExpenseDescription, and ExpenseAmount
tblExpenseCodes: ExpenseCode

The design of rsubTimeSheetExpenses is shown in Figure 6.38. This subreport can easily be built from a wizard. Select all fields except TimeCardID and TimeCardExpenseID from qrySubTimeSheetExpense. View the data by tblTimeCardExpenses. Don't add any groupings and don't sort the report. When you're finished with the wizard, modify the design of the report. Remove the caption from the Report Header and move everything from the Page Header to the Report Header. Collapse the Page Header, remove everything from the Page Footer, and add a Report Footer with the expression =Sum(ExpenseAmount).

Change the format of the ExpenseAmount and the TotalExpenseAmount controls to Currency and use the Sorting and Grouping window to sort by TimeCardID and TimeCardExpenseID.
