access to outlook 2003

[fishqqq]

Is it possible to have an after update function (in access) open up
the user's calendar in Outlook and create an appt for a specific day
and time from info that is stored in the record in access?

would like to be able to use the reminder feature of outlook to remind
the user of something he has to do in the future etc.

tks
Steve

No offense but hasn't got Outlook a great feature for that called 'Reminder'?

Yes, Access can do this, and it requires fairly complex programming.
Use Bing or another search engine on the keywords "VBA Outlook
Automation create appointment" and you should have no problem finding
ways to do this.
