A. The requirement is to design a Database for Golf Course Maintenance and analyse Employee Tasks

Subject: Help with Tables and Forms
Question: I am trying to create a relatively simple database that will track how many hours
golf course maintenance employees spend on a specific task.

Each employee has a billing rate so for the task I would need a calculation (hours * rate) which
will give me the cost per task.

These are my tables:
Employee Table with EmpID, EmpLastName, EmpFirstName,
EmpRate Task Table with TaskID, TaskName and I am guessing the linking table is
WorkDone which contains EmpID, TaskID, WorkDate, WorkHours, WorkCost.

For data entry,
This is how I envision it:
I have a form with Employee Name (concatenate EmpFirstName and EmpLastName) as a drop down.
When the employees name is selected, in a box called Rate, the Employee's Rate automatically populates.

Then there is a dropdown box with the TaskName in it, a box for the date the work was done, and then a
box to input how many hours was spent on a task.

Then there would be a box that calculates the hours worked on that task by the employees rate.

Then the user clicks an Update button or something like that to commit to another (?) table.

This table I was thinking was called WorkDone which would hold the EmpID, TaskID, WorkDate, WorkHours and
WorkCost (the calculation from Employees rate x Hours on that task).

Do you have any ideas or tips?
