Schedule Running a Macro

Hi,
I have a macro that I need to periodically run to append data to a snapshot analysis table.
The macro and the VB works fine but I need to find a way of getting the macro to run at the same time every week for consistency.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Paul

RE: Schedule Running a Macro

Hi Paul

Thank you for your question regarding scheduling.

Access does not include a method to automatically execute a procedure at a particular time unless the database was constantly open and a procedure constantly running to check the time. That causes issues with backups and is not a workable solution.

There are various products available that could open a file that executes code to manipulate your database, or your IT support team might already have a scheduling system that you could use.

Access tip:

Zoom feature for queries

If youare working on on query design and creating a calculated field, it can be hard to view the whole statement. You can hold the shift key down and press F2, to show the zoomed up version of the query field
