OPEN DBASE AND ACTIVATE TIMER EVENT

[iain2003]

Does anyone have any code that would help me open a dbase automatically on any pc at a specific time and then fire a macro to run an update process?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would need to use the Windows Scheduled Tasks to set up a job to open the database and then use an autoexec macro that automatically fires when the database is opened

Schedule a task from the Windows control panel that opens the database, and have an autoexec macro in your database so that code will be executed when the it opens.

I assume by DBASE you mean a Microsoft Access .mdb file and not a .dbf file structure as found in foxpro.
