Tracking Attendance for Students and Employees Part 5

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to sort and group your attendance report by student name and class date, and then add filtering to your attendance form using VBA so you can easily view records for a specific day. You will also learn how to use VBA to add students for a given date directly from the form and refresh the attendance records automatically. This is part 5.

In the extended cut, we will add code so that first, the button checks if you already have attendance data for the selected date and confirms if you want to add students again, and second, checks if you missed taking attendance for any previous days so it can notify you to catch up. I will show you how to prompt users before duplicating records and how to flag dates with missing attendance, including options to skip weekends and customize the date range checked.
