Description
Requirements for an interface between an Excel spreadsheet time recording system and an Access project database.

Current situation

The company, a small consulting firm, has a number of employed and associate consultants, many of whom spend most of their time out of the office on client sites.

Hours worked on projects are recorded in a reasonably sophisticated Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains links to an Access database containing details of all live consulting projects (this application was developed internally over the past 5 years or so). Consultants are allocated to projects in the Engagement Database by a manager. When the consultant completes the timesheet the relevant project codes for that consultant are downloaded into the spreadsheet and available for the consultant to record time against. The consultant saves an individual copy of the spreadsheet and keeps record of time worked throughout the month. At the end of the month, once all time has been recorded, the consultant manually cuts the relevant cells from the spreadsheet and pastes them into a matching form in the Access application.

The Excel spreadsheet also has the capability to print weekly timesheets that can be signed off by the clients they are working for. The spreadsheet automatically picks up the hours entered and prints out one timesheet per project code.

Because many of the consultants are out of the office for most or all of their time, they have to phone in their project hours worked for someone in the office to complete the timesheet for them. They are required to print off blank weekly timesheets in the office when they get a chance and then complete these by hand on site – a situation which can create discrepancies between the time recorded on the Excel system and the time recorded on weekly sheets.

Solution requirements

The solution is required to deliver three things:

1. Elimination of the manual step to cut and paste hours from Excel to the Access project database (for example, by extending the functions of the Access application to include time recording).
2. Remote access to this application so that consultants who are not in the office frequently are able to record their hours easily (for example, by making the time recording interface accessible via the internet).
3. Remote printing of weekly time sheets at the client site for client sign-off.

We are open to suggestions for how best to achieve these aims.

Dear Sir, I liked you project and I´m able to execute it without any problem. I´m a Excel and PHP`s teacher here (in Brazil) My suggestion is doing a web page in PHP for your consultants fill with their data. So, anyone will need to fill a blank spreadsheet more. You can see either that I had a strong success at another job to England (please see my feedback here), I´m not a beginner, please give me this chance, I can delivery to you a pratical software to help you at your job. Regards

Hi ... by implication, the Excel disappears ... however, lets' put a TelNet dialer application in each Consultant's Notebook (one application with input forms, data checks, and auto connection to the Access server); very simple code module that can be used for all your remote data entry. Solving the other problems is child's play, if we have this capability built in the remote devices. TelNet is still the remote application of choice for Enterprise Solutions, so this is a very sustainable application. Kind Regards Wayne
