How I would accomplish the following scenario in Access 2010. I have created a data base for a funeral home. One of my tables includes the date of death of the individual (DOD) (i.e. 04/16/2014). From that date I want to trigger a reminder to follow up with a family letter 6 months from that date. Would I do this with a macro or would I do this with VBA Script?
View RepliesThis is my problem!!! Bit new to Access, so here goes! I am setting up a claibration database for test equipment, what i need to do is to set up the database so that say a week before a calibration date is due, the database will flag this up, say display a reminder!! Can anyone tell me is this possible and the best way to set this up????

I want to create a field for displaying a 90 day period date before the time of renewal.
This date will be displayed to remind me to send out a notice to a client and will be based on the actual renewal date field.
Can anyone please provide some insight into creating such a field.
Also, I will be creating a similar data field that will be based on 30 Days after the 90 day notice that I send out.
Thank you in advance...

Working in MS Access 2010. Data must be entered and updated in Access only. Trying to figure out if it's even possible to auto populate dates in multiple fields in a form that are triggered when I enter ANY date in a primary date field on the form. I have close to half a dozen fields I'd like to do this for but here are a couple of the fields I'm working with:
Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice(Form field to be triggered and show a date 90 days prior to the trigger date)
Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice (Form field to be triggered and show a date 60 days prior to the trigger date)
Re Insp Date (Trigger date)
What I'd like to do is enter values in the "Re Insp Date" field (in the form) and have it trigger/auto-fill/auto-populate the "Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 90 days prior to the "Re Insp Date" and the "Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 60 days prior to the "Re Insp Date"........all this, and have it auto-update the queries and tables its linked to.
I've tried looking online and in instructional material to see if there is a formula, equation, macro, an expression or VBA coding that I can use to execute this but am having no luck.
The MAIN OBJECTIVE is to have the the linked query and table update automatically. Possible??
I have tried doing =([Re Insp Date])-90 but no dice...
hey,
Sorry to open with a question but its usually the way, i'm quite an experienced computer user but never used any office products before and just thought i should learn as i'm losing money every week by not keep track of things properly.
So then to my question..
I've made a table to cover all the orders i have had placed, this includes a date column for when that order was placed. I just wondered if it would be possible to have some kind of system where after 7 days without any acknowledgement from me it either pops up or turns red or something similiar. I'm thinking the acknowledgement could be the yes/no box and i tick that when i recieve the item back, if i dont it either pops up or turns red or something :confused:
any help much appreciated
I have a table called schedule maintenance.
In that table I have a "date" field
Is it possible that if " todays" date = a date in the field date a e-mail can be sent to me to remind me there is a scheduled maintenance to be done.
I want to make an application that reminder Radio Broadcaster to read ads based on airing hour.

I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
I have a table to store "issues" with fields Issue name(text), target date(date) and status (combo box-active & pending statuses). default status for new issue is active. when clicking a button i want to change the status of every record to "pending" status (combo box value should be pending) if the target date<current date.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I manage a training database that tracks many different facets of an organization's training needs. One thing I would like to see is something that shows how many people will be in training on any given day. For example, I would like to see a range of dates printed down one column, and in the next column the number of people in training. I'm not sure how to best do this, so I'd appreciate any help or guidance.
To give you all a little background:
- Classes can last several months
- I would like to be able to create a class, including the class name and the date range of the class
- I would then like to be able to attach multiple people to the classes
- I would then like to be able to look at a report like I discussed above, that counts how many people are in any class on any given day
- I currently have a table for all of the people in my organization (keyed by HRID).
- I imagine a table for each class, including the Class Name and Date Range (would I have to do each date as a separate field??).
- The final table would include HRID and Class Name to link the two tables and "put people into a class."
I'm really struggling with how to handle the date range, particularly considering each class may go on for 60+ days. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance!
Hello all,
I have 5 check boxes on a form and one of them must be checked in order to get the correct result.
If the user does not check any of the the five checkboxes he gets a msgbox telling him that he must checks one of the checkboxes.
What i want to ask is if is possible to prevent the form from updating? Because the user gets the error message but after that the form is being updated even though he hasn't check any of the fields.
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
I am wondering whether it is possible to trigger the run of a macro when a form window is closed using the close button in the top right of a standard window?
If not, then is it possible to display a form in a window without the minimize, restore and close buttons?
I am currently using a setup whereby I have a button to close a form, and when clicked a macro is executed. However, the user could just as easily close the form using the close button of the window and the updates would not be performed.
Thanks in advance

hi all.
there's a new db im making and i'd like to add in a 'follow up reminder' feature where; after 1 month of job completion (as updated by a auto update date field) we can give a 1 month follow up call with the customer just to say 'hey, just wanted to make sure your stuff is working' or so to speak. the reminder must say something to the likes of '1 month follow up required for customer vin deisel acct # 5777'... in other words the popup box gotta have the option to capture data from the db as well!
about 2 or 3 guys in here (total access noobs-myself included) are the ones making the db and we'd like some assistance here.

My problem is that when I enter as a user a window shows up say my username and the number of things I have to do but I can't get it to count the number of things to do. I tried a query but it doesn't work (either it shows "#name" or it goes all blank)please help.
thanks in advance, newbiepr
I have created an email message to be sent via a closing button on a form, using the DoCmd.SendObject command. It all works fine except that MS Outlook then puts a message box on the screen with a countdown bar saying that MS Access is trying to access Outlook and to press Yes if this is to be allowed.
Is there any way that I can disable this message box please. I appreciate that this is more an Outlook problem than an Access one, but some database programmer has probably come across the same problem before.
Many thanks

I'd like to know how to implement a pop-reminder that runs reminding the user of the database of :
1. some to-do actions for the current day or, for example, a week ahead of a certain event, that is related to some date previously entered in a table.
2. this should be within the access database.
3. I saw something like that in the [URL]... website, but actually couldn't understand it.
I want to create a query that says starting on a specific date, every 6 months a reminder will pop up when a certain report opens (or form, preferably a report). So if I said the starting date is 10/16/2013, once April 16th, 2014 hits and this user opens the report, a message pops up.
Another way would be to add that message to the report itself, so it's not technically a pop up but its built-in to the report.
I'm working on an access database and I need to connect that database to the reminder function of Outlook.
At first, I set the reminder precisely six months before the due date, everything was okay and the reminder worked. But after some revision required by my supervisor, I need to set the reminder based on month (not exactly on the due date), so the tasks which have due dates in the same month will be wrapped into a single reminder. The reminder also should be appear in every two weeks. Here's the code I've been worked on :
Code:
Private Sub Expired_AfterUpdate()
Dim outLookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim outLookTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set outLookApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Set outLookTask = outLookApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
[Code]...
I put this code on the AfterUpdate event in the column containing the due date. How should I rearrange the code so it would be able for the reminder to appear based on the month? (just consider that the reminder will be active six months before due date).
I need to create a guest database for a small hotel. And I would like to create a pop-up alert that appears when I open MS Access to remind me birthdays of the guests.

I've got a db system linked with webpages that handles rent management and i'd like to set up an email reminder every thursday to tell the student tenants to put the rubbish out for the bin man. I have their email addresses in one table and another table telling them whether its recycling or landfill rubbish.

I created a Tracking System and would like to send an automatic reminder to the person the ticket has been assigned to, using the due date and the text message in the field "reminder message". Once the message send, I want the database to recognize and not send it again. I want the database to send a new message if the due date has changed.
