Question : How can I fill a list box which shows if no contact have been made in the last 90 days and no file has been added to a specific folder in the last 90 days in MS Access forms with VBA?

I have the following sets of code. These codes generate alerts when there has not been contact in the last 90 days, or folder has not been updated in 90 days.

this part is for the contacts

If DateDiff("d", DMax("DateTime1", "ComCon", "FundName='" & Me.FundName & "'"), Date) > 90 The

this part is for the files (check if a new file created in a specific folder in the last 90 days or not)
Public Function NewestFileInFolder(strFolderPath As String) As Integer
Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject, objFolder As Object, objFile As File, intTemp As Integer, bolFirstPass As Boolean
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemobject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolderPath)
bolFirstPass = True
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
intTemp = DateDiff("d", objFile.DateCreated, Date)
If bolFirstPass Then
NewestFileInFolder = intTemp
bolFirstPass = False
Else
If intTemp < NewestFileInFolder Then NewestFileInFolder = intTemp
End If
Next
Set objFile = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
End Function

This both feed into a Form10 which is specific for an entry (specific for a fund). These are only for one fund.

I would like to create the same thing which goes and searches all the funds , and brings out all the attention required fields in the whole database. And lists them on a list box.

thanks

You could build both of these checks into query criteria. You can pass the necessary fund information into each function and it can return back the number of days. However, depending on how many funds you have, this could be really slow to do on the fly. It might be better to build a work table with the information and then allow the user to refresh it when necessary. Then you can base the listbox on that work table.

Or, you can denormalize a bit and store the LastContactDate and LastFileDate in the Fund table, refreshing those as necessary. That would probably be my preference. In our shop, we designate calculated fields with a suffix of _CALC so that nobody mistakenly allows the user to change it in the UI.
