Maximum and Minimum times 1

[ptrifile]

I have a table called tblLoginLogout that has 4 fields. Date, Name, Logintime, and Logouttime. The data looks like this:

date name Logintime logouttime
2/8/2016 Joe blow 8:00 am 9:02 pm
2/8/2016 Joe blow 9:04 am 10:02 am
2/8/2016 Joe blow 10:03 am 2:00 pm
2/8/2016 Joe blow 2:02 am 5:00 pm
2/9/2016 Joe blow 8:04 am 5:03pm
2/10/2016 Joe blow 8:00 am 12:00pm
2/10/2016 Joe blow 1:00 pm 5:00 pm

I am trying to create a new table with only the records that show the minimum login time and the maximum logout time for each person for each date. So the new table in the above example would look like this:

date name Logintime logouttime
2/8/2016 Joe blow 8:00 am 5:00 pm
2/9/2016 Joe blow 8:04 am 5:03 pm
2/10/2016 Joe blow 8:00 am 5:00 pm

Is this possible to do? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming date, Logintime, and logouttime are DateTime fields, not just test.

I would try:
[tt]
Select [date], [name], MIN(Logintime), MAX(logouttime)
From MyTable
Group By [date], [name]
[/tt]

BYW - bad names for fields: date and name, Those are 'reserved words' in Access.

Have fun.

Thanks Andy! While you're exact answer didn't work it absolutely helped me get to where I needed to be! Thanks!

Dhookom, my appologies. I will look into the TGML for future posts.
