MS Access Forum / General 2 / April 2008Access to Outlook apointment
I have a data base that tracks all of our machinery "lubrication Due" by dates. Is there anyway they cane be made to show up in Outlook on a monthly calander or even better yet, pop up as an apointment reminder? Any advice would be a great help  SignatureJeff G Maintenance Tech Milgard Tempering >I have a data base that tracks all of our machinery "lubrication Due" by >dates.

One alternative would be to create a continuous form with the Lubrication Due date in descending sequence. So the oldest is at the top.

It is appreciated. I'm not sure what a "continuous form" is. Is this something that can be used in ACCESS? What I'm trying to do is prevent me from generating a report that is pinned to our message board in our office. You know the message board that's in every office. The one everyone see's, but totally ignores! That’s why I was wondering if ACCESS can "talk" with OUTLOOK and create an appointment. I've heard that this can be done but have never actually seen it done......Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what a >"continuous form" is. Is this something that can be used in ACCESS? Yes, this is a form that vaguely resembles a spread sheet in the a number of records appear on the form. This approach means that everyone who needs this information would have to open your app. >What I'm trying to do is prevent me from generating a report that is pinned >to our message board in our office.

However this will require some VBA code. I'd suggest following the Outlook specific links at the Access Email FAQ at my website to locate other web sites that have Outlook specific code. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email/outlook.htm Tony SignatureTony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Please respond only in the newsgroups so that others can read the entire thread of messages.
