i'm also not newbie to Access but i'm not programmer. I have a need to
automate some task in Access. Every monday which is the first day of
the week, I have to send a MS Excel file containing data which
generated by MS Access. In my MS Access, I queries and filter a lot of
data from Oracle database which I connect using ODBC.
In this query, there is one perimeter need to fill up. The parameter
is date. It's a range of date. Every Monday I have to fill this
parameter from date of last Monday to last sunday. This is weekly data
need to be emailed out to my user.
Is there any mechanism to automate this task?

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scheduled Tasks
Create a standalone Access file (.mdb or .mde)
Add a macro named 'autoexec' - it will execute when the Scheduled Task opens
the file
The autoexec macro will contain at least one TransferSpreads heet statement
to output your data to an Excel sheet, and a Quit command to close the
system altogether.
The TransferSpreads heet statement will take as an input your query with the
date parameters:
WHERE DatePeriod Between (Date() - 1) and (Date() - 7)
Note: the macro builder for TransferSpreads heet says 'Table Name' but you
can enter a SELECT query.
Schedule this task to run anytime Monday, after 12:00:00am.

btw, the Run line in your Scheduled Task will need to be something like this

"D:\MyAccessFil e.mdb" This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi there,
Can anyone tell if there's a solution to this for a Windows environment?
If this was running under Linux, it would be a problem, but...
I have a php script that when run, examines a file, and then updates a
local database. I would like to run this script (in the background - not
in a browser window) via the command line every e.g. 100 seconds - any
ideas?

Is there a way to get my script to run on regularly scheduled intervals
without using cron? My hosting provider sucks... cannot use cron... I was
thinking perhaps I could create a file every hour in a certain directory and
then fire the script when the file count reaches a certain number, and then
clear out the directory... or something like that. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I've seen questions about scheduling ASP scripts posted in this group
many times so hopefully this will be useful information to a few
people.
I just wanted to let you all know that our script scheduling service at
www.cronservice.co.uk has been rewritten from the ground up and is now
better than ever. If you are looking for a way to schedule your ASP
scripts and don't have access to cron or task scheduler then you need
this service.

When I've developed PHP sites before we've had a server facility called a
CRON job to set a certain page to run at pre-defined periods (schedule it)
Is there an equvalent for ASP.NET/IIS? I've got some scripts which I could
do with running daily and wondered the best way to do this?

I don't know if this is possible, but I need to accomplish an action

any other possibilities to do something like this without having

Hi,
Can you help me in how to proceed for scheduling a cron job by looking into the time in the oracle table.
Say for ex: In a table it is mentioned that abc.dat file has to be extracted at 3 am every day, then @ 3 am cronjob should run to pull abc.dat file. If the time is changed to 4 am in the database table then automatically the cron job should run at 4.
Your help is appreciated ASAP.
Best Regards,
Sai

Hi,
I'm working on a cron like functionality for my application.
The outer loops runs continuously waking every x seconds (say x=180,
300, ..).
It needs to know what events in cron has expired and for each event do
the work needed.
It's basically like unix cron or like a calendar application with some
restrictions. The outer loop may come back a lot later and many events

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
