Using MS Access - Setting Up Reminders Based on Date Field


Expert: Julie Misson - 3/7/2008

Question
I've been told that ACCESS 2003 can be programmed to pop up a reminder when a certain deadline is coming.  How would I tell ACCESS to display two fields (First and Last names) for records that are "No" in a certain "Yes/No" field?

Answer
Paul,

Many thanks for the question.

Not sure if I have enough information, but I will give it a go.

Create a report based on a query with the required fields, i.e. LastName, FirstName and YesNoField (and any others), in the criteria row for the YesNoFiled type 0

Create a new Macro called AutoExec, this Macro because of the name will run automatically when the database is opened. Under the Action section, choose 'Open report' from the drop down list. Then at the bottom of the Macro complete the properties as needed, including the name of the report you wish to open.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it may help to point you in the right direction.

Regards

Julie
