Automatically run code at given time.

Mike

I have a function that outputs a query to excel. I run
this code every day. Currently I have to hit a command
button to run the code. I am looking for a way to have
the database do this automatically at 5PM. The output
code is: DoCmd.OutputTo
acOutputQuery, "qryOpenPBConPriorityCountCrosstab",
acFormatXLS, "P:\Phil Hull\PBContractorOpenItemCount", -1
The database is on a server and I would like it to
automatically run this code at 5PM. I would appreciate
your help with the automation code.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

Take a look at
ACC2000: How to Start Access by Using the Windows NT Schedule Service
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230575

and

http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0042.htm

and

Also do a Google search on "Task", "Scheduler"

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
