I have a form where someone enters the due date and the responsible person’s email address. Is there a way to automatically email the responsible person if the action is overdue?

ok this is what I did on a project
1) create a report that holds the info you want to email.
2) in design view put a button on your form that the info is coming from.
3) when the wizard comes up select report operations>mailreport
4) after the button is create go to the coded behind the button and bfore the DoCnd.SendObject Report "Report_Name" add a DoCmd.Save Form "Form_Name"

That will work.
Note: You also wnat to do any calculations and everything before the DoCmd.Save
and you want the DoCmd.SendObject Last
