Default Automate Reports

I am looking to run a report at the same time each day. This report will need
to run automatically say 5pm each weekday, is this possible and if so, some
pointers would be helpful.

Many Thanks

Richard

I'm not sure about this so you may want to wait for another answer but I
believe that you may not need to do it through Access. What you may need to
do is go into the computers automated tasks and set it up there.

Control Panel Scheduled Tasks ?? Does that help?

Oh I forgot, you will have to have the Access report setup as an executable
somehow. I believe as long as you have it where you click on the file and
it does what you want it to do then the scheduled task out of the Control
Panel will do it. Otherwise someone would have to be at least around to see
that it's ready to print or whatever it is you are trying to do.

The simplest approach would be to put the reports and any objects they use
into an mdb of their own. Establish the table links as necessary to the bank
end. In other words, you will have a subset of your application that contain
only the reports and any object they need. Create a Macro named AutoExec
that runs the reports.
Use the Windows scheduler to kick off Access with the report mdb on whatever
schedule you want.
