My knowledge of access is pretty limited. Can anyone help me with this problem.
I have some due dates entered into the database via a form. Is it possible to send an email alert say 1 month and then 1 week before the due date?
Hi, this is probably a very easy question for you “Access-gods” out there.
I’ve made a database (MS Access 2000) with all my clients. I collect a lot of contact info, including e-mail.
I want to make a function which opens a new mail window (Outlook 2003) and automatically puts in the e-mail from my form (In the send-to field of outlook).
Is this possible? And how?
(BTW: I’m a newbie with VBA)
I have a ms access table with two fields...tablename is ..."Addresses"..
Field1:= Employee_mail_id
Field2:= Leave_balance
What I need to do is that,I need to send individual mail (in Bulk) two each employee intimating their leave balances.
Is it possible to do it in vb .I want it to assign the codes in a button.
Below iss the code.
Dim r As Recordset
Dim email As String
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from Addresses")
Do While Not r.EOF
email = email & r(2) & ";"
r.MoveNext
Loop
r.Close
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, Null, Null, email, Null, Null, "Test subject", "Message body of the test letter", False, Null
I am developing a database for our fleet of company vehicles. What I'd like to know is is it possible to set up some kind of alert where a dialog box appears (like the sort of thing in Outlook with reminders).
What I'd like is, for example, if a vehicle requires a service a pop up would appear, a couple of weeks before, when the database is opened to alert the user that it will be required soon.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
When I start my database, I would like a field to be checked for todays date. If the condition is true, I would like it to use an alert to tell me that the condition is met. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all, wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an access database, with a form called "Stock Maintenance", the controls on the form are QTY & Min QTY.
What i would like if possible, is once the Min QTY is below (10) an alert message/flag appears, saying QTY LOW Re-order Stock!!
I hope I have expressed what im trying to do.
any help on this matter would be greatly appricated.
Hope you guys may be able to help
I have a form with a sub form. On the sub form I have #Ordered, #Supplied & #Used. These fields calculate to give the user the # in stock. This figure is displayed on the form. On the form I also have the Reorder level which is set by the user.
I would like to be able to make a message alert pop up when the database is opened or when any of these records show the # in stock is lower than the Reorder level, ensuring that we do not run out of stock.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
I have a screen that has 8 different buttons and clicking on any of these buttons generates an appropriate letter and once the button was clicked in also inserts a date, today's date.
Private Sub btnSecondReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnSecondReport_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'* Call the standard letter printing routine for this form.
Call StandardLetterVariables("Bd$50paid.doc")
btnFirstReport.SetFocus
[DTSecondLetterSent] = Date
Exit_btnSecondReport_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnSecondReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnSecondReport_Click
So I would like to create an alert that looks at this date and 14 days from that date will alert, remind whatever I want to do.
I am thinking it wouldn't be too hard to create a reminder that pops up when the record is opened but I am sure users will want to be reminded without having to go into the record.
My question: can I and is it hard to create a reminder that will take care of paying attention when and who needs to be reminded or should I just create a report and let them run this.
I hope this makes sense and sombody has done this.
In my form I have a combo box. The combo box has several selections. I want a message box to appear after any but one of the selections within the combo box are selected. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have what is probably a simple question for regular Access users. Before I ask the question, here is a simplified version of the tables involved:
Structure of EMPLOYEE
=====================
EmplID
Name
Structure of TRAINING
=====================
EmplID
CourseID
CourseName
DateTaken
Data in EMPLOYEE
================
EmplID----Name
1234------John Smith
5678------Mike Smith
Data in TRAINING
================
EmplID------CourseID----Course------DateTaken
1234--------NS01--------HeatStreet--06/15/2000
1234--------NS01--------HeatStreet--07/11/2001
1234--------NS01--------HeatStreet--02/07/2002
1234--------NS01--------HeatStreet--08/22/2004
1234--------NS01--------HeatStreet--01/28/2006
1234--------NS27--------Lockout-----01/06/2002
1234--------NS27--------Lockout-----01/27/2004
5678--------NS01--------HeatStreet--12/27/2002
5678--------NS01--------HeatStreet--08/11/2004
Its easy enough to join the two tables in the query and return ALL 9 training records, but I would like to find a way to display only the most recent occurance of each employee taking a course. ie, the max date for each unique EmplID-Name-CourseID-Course combination:
EmplID------Name--------CourseID----Course------DateTaken
1234--------John Smith--NS01--------HeatStreet--01/28/2006
1234--------John Smith--NS27--------Lockout-----01/27/2004
5678--------Mike Smith--NS01--------HeatStreet--08/11/2004
I thought maybe "GroupBy" on EmplID, Name, CourseID and Course and "Max" on DateTaken would do the trick, but apparently not. Is there a way to do this without code?
Thanks in advance........ :)

I need to know how to send an email to myself when someone adds a new record

HI all,
I've been searching the threads, but to no avail! (be gentle - a curious beginner in a crazy world of demands!)
My database (table) has a date field, when this date is 'now()' I need to send a reminder email to a 1 collegue and 'cc' 2 others. And automatically change the background colour of the date field; say to red.
A step by step guide would be great, or a nudge in the direction of a good example would help,
Thanks for your time,

I am hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure this one out! I have a database I just created which houses approximately data on about 500 physicians/practitioners - from their personal info to information regarding their licensures, liability coverage, and DEA. In order for us to be compliant with administration and government criteria we have to monitor expirations of their license, liability, DEA, and other things. We do this by sending letters/e-mails out 30 days in advance of expiration dates (which is a field in my database). What would really be great if when I bring up my database it would automatically give me a pop-up saying these licensures are expiring in 30 days and send out reminders. I am a rather new user to Access but I do recall a few years ago hearing something about databases that have crystal reports??? I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
I do have parameter queries set up from date to date but it sure would be impressive if I could get it to do the above. Or maybe another way to do this. Any suggestions????????? CMElady in :confused: distress!!!
Thanks.
Hi everyone, I quite new to access, so I would like to ask for a little help. Is it possible to create an alert in a database related to date and time. Shortly the user needs to be alerted when a certificate expires on a specific date. Is it possible to do that in Access?
Thank you anticipated,

Hi
I am trying to create an alert function so that when a user open up a form and displays a record, it will also display any alerts that have been created for that record. e.g. missed payments etc.
I have created a table to store the alert data along with the job number to which the alert relates so in essence I can have more that one alert per job record. I amtrying get one of the alerts to display ok using the following code
alerts = DLookup("[Job _Number]", "Alerts", "[Job _Number]='" & Me.Job_Number & "'" And "[Start_Date]" >= Date)
You will see that I am trying to only display alerts that are within the valid date range (I have not yet included [End_Date] as I cannot get the code above to work.
Can anyone help me correct this code please?
The other thing is that because I am using a dlookup, I am assuming it will only display the first alert it finds in the table and that's it? If so, how do it get it to display all 'active' alerts with a matching job number. By active I mean where the Start date is >= Date() and End date is <= Date()
I would really appreciate any help on this..
Thank you all for reading.

Is there a way to have Access send an alert message when a particular date is getting close? I have a database that tracks automatic step increases to pay and when the dates occur.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,
I need to alert the user of the database in case he/she enters a record that already exists in the database. If a person enters a key type and a serial number combination that already exists in the system and has status "issued", I need a pop up message to show up.
Am I missing some quotation marks somewhere in that DCount?
Private Sub SerialNumber_AfterUpdate()
If DCount("*", "tblIssuedKeys", "KeyType = '" & Me.KeyType & "' And "Status = 'Issued'" And SerialNumber = '" & Me.SerialNumber & "'") > 0 Then
MsgBox "This key has already been issued"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
