- I am creating timer for casual work, but after I can't find a place to see them back as a report or anything?

I mean timer for personnal task not task related to a customer.
Thanks

I would like to know this as well. I'm looking for what I am missing- if there's a timer, and even the phone notes feature- there is then a corresponding way to see a tabulation/summary/graph/report of the results of the note-taking or timing- for a day, a week, a month, or a year- but how? i.e. how many notes per week? how many calls per day? month? total time of all calls for the week? etc. is it accessed through the graphing or reports better?

It seems there's not really much on this, Feejo. I'm trying to figure out why you would have a timer function, and then not be able to report on it, or graph it...

Ya would be great to time task on notes ... And have a report to know what I am doing of my day's.

I switch to Max 9. There is Crytal Report. I woulder if into note or something else there is the data we are looking for into DatabaseExpert?
Ultimatly I would do a report for a particular opportunity that will calculate all timed + all phone time for a customer.
That will tell me total time passed on a customer, maby after I would be able to tell how much time I have pass over the phone into a year, how much time on working on customer for sale, for service.

Here's a sample to get you started:

The following Crystal Reports formula field (Basic syntax) will extract the duration (hours, minutes, seconds) from a timed note and convert it to seconds.

Dim a, i, j, hh, nn, ss
a = "Duration: "
i = InStr({NOTES.Text}, a) + Len(a)
j = InStr(i, {NOTES.Text}, ":")
hh = Mid({NOTES.Text}, i, j - i)
i = j + 1
nn = Mid({NOTES.Text}, i, 2)
i = i + 3
ss = Mid({NOTES.Text}, i, 2)
formula = (Val(hh)*3600) + (Val(nn)*60) + Val(ss)

Too complex.

Oh well, I guess the information is not that important to you.

It can be important, but when I enter that formula?

>but when I enter that formula?

In the Crystal Report. Search the CR help for details on formula fields, or check out

http://www.e-reporting.ca

for information about CR training.

Gord, that looks like VB. Is it actually VB . NET or a derivative of it?

>that looks like VB

Crystal Reports allows you to create formula fields using either "Crystal Syntax" or "Basic Syntax". I tend to use the latter because it is similar to other stuff I do in VB and VBA.

The CR help describes the differences between "Crystal Syntax" and "Basic Syntax".
