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. "richard" wrote in message ...

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. "richard" wrote in message ...

Automate Reports
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. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "richard" wrote: I am looking to run a report at the same time each day.
