Question : lookup table and stop a form opening if more than two entries match a criteria

Hi EE
I have a button on my switch board that when you click it it opens a form.
i want the button to look up a table 'tblTimeSheet' and look in the field 'TimeLogedOut'
and see if two rows on todays date match the Words "Auto Log Out After BREAK" which is in field 'Reason'
I need it to filter the look up by EmpID on the table against [Forms]![frmGENSwitchboard]![EmpID]

REASON:
The switchboard allows a member of staff to take 2 breaks a day. When they go on a break they have to click the break button. i want the button to recognise when a member of staff has pressed the button Twice. and then if they try and press it a third time it has a message that says "you have already taken your allocated break time"

The ID of the staff is always on the switchboard [Forms]![frmGENSwitchboard]![EmpID]

The table above records everytime they log in and out of the database and also records each break they take.

Answer : lookup table and stop a form opening if more than two entries match a criteria


If DCount("TimeLogedOut", "tblTimeSheet", "[TimeLogedOut] = #" & Date  & "# And empID=" & [Forms]![frmGENSwitchboard]![EmpID]) > 1 Then
  MsgBox "you have already taken your allocated break time"
  Exit Sub
