Trying to create a field in Access that calculates time off.?

For example if I put that someone starts working on January 1st 2011, and every month they work they get 1 week off, I want the table to be able to calculate how much time off they would have on another date, say July 1st 2011.

    Hi. To solve this question you have two or more options but the easy way is creating a query and type the following function:

    Weeks_Off:DATEDIFF("M";[DT_INI];[DT_END])

    Datediff function will bring the difference between two dates the way you want (you can use weeks, days, years, etc), it´s only a matter of typing the initial character of the criteria (w for week, m for month, y for year, d for day, etc).

    In this case, it will show you the difference in months, the information you need to show.

    Hope it helps.

    Obs.: it´s only a matter of creating a query and copy and paste the formula/function I've type above. You'll need add the other fields so you'll have the complete set of information (name, dates, etc.)
