Question : Access db - A threshold date - automatic email send

Hi,

In a db, we have a 'Complete By' field. Is there a way that if this date is passed, the db can be programmed in a query so that a reminder email is sent to a user with their email address?

Thanks.

Answer : Access db - A threshold date - automatic email send

You would have to write some code to check for records whose time has come but not yet been actioned then send the email and record that the email has been actioned.

You would then run this code periodically via  a scheduled task or some such.

There is nothing that access will do automatically by way of monitoring a date field and triggering a workflow.
