does access have a timer for timing work

[Guest]

does access have a timer for keeping track of time spent on work? I'm looking
for something to keep track of billable work.

Dear zzzzzzzzz:

Did I count the number of Zs correctly. I'd hate to misspell your name!

Access has the ability to read the system clock. See the Time() function.
This will read the current date and time for recording in a table. Perhaps
that is what you want.

Access has a matching datatype date/time to record such values.

Access has a rich set of functions to measure the elapsed time between
date/time values and perform most anything you would need. There are
descriptions of these in the online help. They are generally called Date
functions, but they include time of day as well.

You can build one. You would just have to timestamp the start of work, and
then calculate the number of hours, minutes, or seconds that have expired.
You will need to calculate using a "completed time, or the current time if
the project is still "running".

In short, Access is a tool to create your application. You have to make it
perform the calculations you want.
