Pop Up Reminders

Jun 16, 2005

Hiya guys,

I have just been asked to add a reminder function into a database, I have searced the forum, but not sure what I`m looking for.

When we deal with customers, some times we have to contact them again at a later date.
Is there anyway that we can get a reminder to popup, or send a reminder to a specific email address when a certain date criteria is met ?
obviously the database need to be open ( which is not a problem, as it`ll be used on a daily basis anyway )
Would I need to use querys, macro, VB etc to do this, or is there an in built function in access that I dont know about that could do this automatically.

Thanks in advance for any help.

How can I go about creating pop up reminders for expired dates in (MS Acess 2003) forms for each record.

For example: Date Renewal = 31/01/2005

I need a pop up reminder popping up a month before the date renewal.

Thanks in advance! :)

Automatic Pop Up Reminders

Jan 21, 2005

Hi

I'm fairly new to Access and databases in general but I have built a great database which I am really pleased with, but I want to be able to have a pop-up reminder which is activated when a date in one of the form fields is reached.

First of all is this technically possible?

If it is could somebody give me an indication of how to go about doing it because I have no idea!

If it is not possible, is there any other way around it?

Thanks in advance for your assistance and the simpler you can keep any advice the better!!

Many thanks

Steve

Outlook Reminders

Mar 1, 2007

Let me preface this thread by stating I'm an Access noob. However, I am fully capable of using the "search forum" section. Unfortunately, many of the answers given to somewhat similar queries are out of my range of understanding.

Here's what I am looking to do:

I work for a R & D company. My lab receives media and reagents of all sorts with various expiration dates.
We have an Access Database setup for what is in storage and from who... but it's really quite basic.

What I have been asked to look into is:

Is it possible to have Access automatically send an Outlook Reminder or Email based on the expiration date field within the database?

For example:

4 days to expiry of a Tryptic Soy Agar Plate, Outlook sends a reminder to the relevant people with a message that says something like:

Notice

You have <number of days until expiry> days until <item description> Lot # <lot number> expires.

----------

of course, i'm not even sure how to setup the email so it pulls the relevant information. I would be fine with it just sending out an email telling which item expires a set amount of days before.

um..
help please

Forms :: Form Reminders For Specific User Only?

Feb 25, 2014

In my database, I have a form of reminder.

Query collect all the information about the unfinished business at the base and at the start-up of the base shows form reminders.

The base is splitet into front and back end, and are located on the server. Each user is assigned rights what can be done in the database.

The problem where I am "stuck" is to make the form reminder that can be seen only by those users whose jobs are not completed and not all users of the database. Each user uses his computer with your username and password. I tried to connect to form reminder with this information, but I failed.
