Morning from everybody!
I have an electronic requisition DB that the production department uses to enter the parts needed on the shop floor. Warehouse people then print the req and take the parts down. This DB is open 24/7/365
I need to limit the time that production folks can issue new reqs to the warehouse from 7:00AM to 5:00PM
Is there way I can do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards!
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
In your code that enables/starts the req process, you can compare the current time (using Time function) to your values.
If Time > #07:00:00 AM# AND Time < #05:00:00 PM#
or some similar logic.

Actually, probably more like If Time > #06:59:59 AM# AND Time < #05:00:01 PM# if you want to include the exact hour but not 1 second more or less. Can they fudge the pc clock?
