I have installed the latest version of QODBC and linked the Emplopyee and TimeTracking tables into an Access database. It appears to work fine. However in QB I can run a report that shows Timetracking records for employees in the week of July 30 - Aug 5 (report =  Time by Name). When I look into the table from the Access side I can find only 2 records for that week for all employees and there should be many other records. I am using TxnDate as the selector. When I check on other weeks they seem to balance perfectly.

Is there another table I should be looking at or is there something else I am doing wrong? .

You do realize that you can actually run that report in MS Access as a pass through query?

sp_report TimeByName show Duration_Title, Text, Label, Duration parameters DateMacro = 'ThisQuarter', SummarizeColumnsBy = 'TotalOnly'

See: How do I create a Pass-Through Report using Microsoft Access 2003?  and How do I use the QuickBooks Reporting Engine with QODBC? I've heard something about sp_report ? 

You can also try resyncing your TimeTracking table by running:

sp_optimizefullsync TimeTracking

as it sound like the optimized table is missing some records.

See: How do I setup the QODBC Optimizer? Where are the Optimizer options? for more information.

Many thanks for the reply. I tried running the import from QB into Access without using the Optimizer and it did not change the results. I turned off the Optimizer in the setup screen. Should I have resynched the tables anyway?

What I find very strange is that QB can show me the data for the week in question but Access (the version is 2000) cannot. Most other (but not all) weeks are fine and balance perfectly. It seems to be a random event.

Would a pass through report solve this problem? If so then each time I run it I need all time cards (?timetracking records) from the beginning of the year with the fields: TxnID, TxnDate, EntityRefListID, ItemServiceRefFullName, DurationMinutes.

What we are doing is  measuring productivity rates for the various employees which is why I need all Time cards each time in case they retroactively change the Item Service code on a given record.

As you already connected the tables in MS Access, the table connections will still use the optimizer. So you still need to fully resync your TimeTracking table by running:

sp_optimizefullsync TimeTracking

Please use VB Demo to run the sp_optimizefullsync stored procedure and to re-run quires for the missing period in VB Demo.
