Yes! You can use the Windows Scheduler to open an Access application at a
prescheduled time. Then you can create an autoexec macro in the application
to perform a certain task when the allication opens.

Look in Windows Help for the Windows Scheduler and Access Help for the
autoexec macro.

Good afternoon everyone,

I am a beginner level Microsoft Access 2003 user. One of the questions
raised at my work place was, "Would it possible to automate Microsoft
Access
2003 to run a particular task on a scheduled time and date of each month?"

For example, could Microsoft Access 2003 be run at 12:00 am midnight of
the
last calendar day of a given month (i.e. Jan 31, Feb 28, Mar 31, Apr 30,
etc.)?

Simply put, can Access be run at a pre-scheduled time automatcially?

Thank you,
SP
