I was requested to improve a timesheet form that currently resides in Excel. The main goal is ease of use. I had the brilliant idea of moving it ot Access because then I could combine it with other forms that are used and make it a one-stop shop. I then had another brilliant idea of making a form with a calendar on it.
The attached is the result, so far.
The problem I am having is that in order to make the form appear as a calendar, I had to include 42 days (6 weeks with 7 days per week). Each day displays the day, the Hours Absent and the Reason Code for the absence. This gives me 146 controls in the calendar, 84 of which use DLookup.
It is not unbearably slow, but it is noticeably slow, and some users may get frustrated.
Is there any way I can avoid the Dlookups? Some magic SQL statement or VBA solution?
