The question is how can i make a sheet that person will enter following
1 employee id

3 task number
4 hours worked
5 quantity

but only want to enter the tasks that they did for that night

Hi ban 12,
if this a continuous form or a data sheet, you could use a combo to hold the
task list.
On each line, user could select which task to use for that row.

The person would enter info every work day, so would that be a continous form?

I am new with access

It doesn't have to be a continuous form.
Single forms have the navigation buttons at the lower left.
User can create a new task by clicking the new record button.

If using a continuous form, you might need to do some careful coding to get
the combo to show the correct task for each row.
