Is there anyway to use Access to run reminders?
I am trying to figure out the easiest way to have a reminder pop-up to run a letter for specific reps that would happen every 3 months.
Thanks for any help on this.
I have a database where I have a number of contacts/clients/customers, I want to be able to put a next contact date in a field on a form and for either 1. get a reminder in the access welcome screen when the date is approaching along with the name of contact/client/customer or export that date along with info to an outlook reminder.

Is there any way a record produce a pop up reminder (like tasks do in outlook) ?
I am considering running a database as a kind of WIP log and report but I am trying to avoid having to run two systems (Access to report , A task list in Outlook to remind)
Thanks

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! :)
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

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
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.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
Having a problem here after installing 2007. All my previously created databases work fine in 2007 (after clicking the enable, which is a pain,but don't know any other way) When I return to 2002 and try to open the databases I get different errors all something like this on....... "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events. Whats up here?????I have found a site here...http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.htmlMentions this problem,but refers to Vista..... Does the same apply to XP? And which is the best fix?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI run several databases daily - after running two of them (at different times), the database itself closes but the Access program stays open. In order to close that program, I have to close it out using the Task Manager.
Any suggested solutions? Thanks (as always) for your assistance.

Hello, I have volunteered to do a database for the school of nursing to use at a small Christian University using Microsoft Access 2003. I have Students, and each of these students is going to take each of these 12 nursing courses. Each nursing course has a specific number of credit hours (2,3,6, etc.) and they are to receive a grade for each class (on a 4 point scale, so their grades are going to be a number 0 for F through 4 for an A). I need to have access calculate a running GPA which only takes into consideration the classes they have completed thus far. Any help would be appreciated. I can do it in excel by just leaving the row for untaken courses blank, then autosumming the credit hours column for total hours taken. I can use a formula for each row that just multiplies the grade (like 4.0) by the credit hours (like 3) and get a total grade points of 12 for that course. Then I can add those numbers up(autosum the total grade points column) and devide by the calculated autosum number I would call total hours. I hope it is clear what I am trying to do and why I don't know how to do it in Access. ***************Extra Info*********
I have a student table and each student has a unique studentID, I have a second table called Nursing grades which I have a Student ID field, and 2 fields for each class a grade recieved and a credit hours field (ex. I have PharmacologyGR and PharmacologyCH, NursingResearchGR and NursingResearchCH). If I need to redesign how I have my tables I can do that, I have a unique Course ID for each course I could put in if needed. Basically, I'll do whatever it takes to get this to work.
Thank you so much for even reading this far, and any help would be appreciated more than you know.
Hello,
I have an Access application which was written on Access 2.0. I need to run it (as is). I saw that it was possible to run it using some kind of Access 2.0 runtime environment - my client uses the following command to run the application:
Msarn200.exe application.mdb /ini application.ini
Where can I get this MSARN200? Do I have to find the Access 2.0 installation itself?
I am trying to count records in a running sum fashion in a QUERY and for the records to restart when the field changes. I tried DCount without success.
ie. if a field contained the following data
Code Running Count
C101 1
C101 2
C103 1
C103 2
C103 3
C104 1
C104 2
Thanks

I have just installed the windows version of Access 2010 on OSX Mountain Lion using a program called Crossover which works very similarly to WINE. I have found that Access will install fine except for VBA form modules and BAS modules, although there seems to be no indication that they did not install as the entire install progresses fine.
I've put together an invoicing program that was created in Access 2010 in Windows but have transferred it over to Access 2010 installed on OSX. It contains a number of forms with code but when I go to VBE, form code modules are not visible. When I try to view the code for a form I get the following error message: "Microsoft Access failed to create the Visual Basic module. If your database is on a network drive, check your network connection, then try again". I was able to insert a BAS module and create a rudimentary VBA subroutine which ran without error so it does seem able to interpret VBA as per normal.
I have access 2003 installed on two different machines. One machine was built 6 months ago with the best hardware available. The other was an older slow IBM.
For some reason, I am experiencing what appears to be some serious time delay (talking in the range of seconds, sometimes tens of seconds) when building a report that has a subreport in it on the fast machine. Yet when I load the exact same database on the slow machine, the report opens instantly.
Any ideas? I'm lost.

I've inherited an Access Application which has
(1) a number of linked tables that are used to seed the underlying SQL Server database.
This system has been set up and is working in Development. My task is to move it to UAT but with regards to point (1) above I can't see any alternative but to copy the Access Database, create a new System DSN and re-import the External Data from the new DSN. What I'd like to do is use the same Access Database to point towards DEV or UAT or PRD. Is this possible to do this or am I stuck with maintaining 3 different Access Databases ?
I am a developer with many years of experience but my Access knowledge is limited so any pointers would be helpful.
Not sure what happens.
occassionally i will run queries that have run before,
the hourglass will turn on, then turn off, and access does nothing
visible, but tack manager says its running 90% cpu. . .
any ideas on what is happening or i am doing wrong?
thanks

Am running a query in Excel on an access table that uses lookup columns. The query is returning in excel with the right data but is returning the lookup value number rather than the data stored inside. How can I return the actual data value rather than the lookup value number.
i.e I have a list of areas
NY
CT
WA
in a lookup column.
User selects CT so is lookup value 2. But I want excel query to return CT.
How can I do this?
thanks
CAn i change the name of a field in a a folder from access. or better yet can i automate a file being copyed from one folder to another.
For example, lets say i have a folder named photo. i want access to find all the items that finish with a "f" and copy them into a new folder named "f_Photos"
Any Help
Hi all,
I was hoping that someone could tell me if it is possible to run an Excel macro from an Access database. I am importing 3 Excel worksheets into Access and this macro needs to be run on all 3 evertime that this file is imported by the user (twice a week). If this can be done could someone please tell me how ??
I have an MS Access application for about 40 users. The problem is that the company does not want to have to buy all these licenses and put it on each machine. Also because each person had to bring in their own set of data multiple people cannot be hitting this at once. So they want to know if there is a way to allow the people to use it without having the application on their machine; and thereby saving the money of buying 40 licenses.
