Hi
I have never done this but would start by creating a small Access application, that obviously must have links to the backend data, and have a startup form which then called the query from its On_Open event.
I don't know whether you are running an UPDATE query or a MAKE-TABLE query (there would be no point running a select query if there was no-one to view the screen !) but I suspect the form would also need a timer to close the application.
I would look to run this from Windows Scheduler but, as I said above, I have never tried this.
Good Luck

Access by itself only runs when its open. So you cannot using solely access schedule any events. As Sierra said, if you use another program to open the database, it might be possible to make a form that opens automatically (hidden possibly) executes the query, and closes it self when done.
If you for some reasons always have access open, you can use a form with a timer, to test whether its time to run your query.

Hi again,
I can now confirm that the method proposed in my last post does actually work.
In an existing project I created a form that opens a report in the On_Load event (Also works On_Open) and has a Timer set to 100 milliseconds and a DoCmd.Quit in the Timer Event.
I closed the project and went to Windows Task Scheduler and created a new task (to run once only!). All I needed to do was specify the start time to 2 minutes hence, then path to the .mdb file (Did NOT need to pass the path to msaccess.exe!) Sit back and wait.
Access oppened, the form opened for an instant then closed Access, while the printer was producing paper!

Can anyone point me to an example of how I would execute a query I've created in an Access DB. I've copied the SQL down to my VB.net application and that works fine, but it's ugly. I'd like to direcly execute the query that I created in Access - if possible.
Also, I would like to be able to add a parameter to that query. For example, if I'm in Access and put an unknown field in the query, I get prompted to enter that info when the...

Getting a weird error while trying out a query from Access 2003 on a
SQL Server 2005 table.
Want to compute the amount of leave taken by an emp during the year.
Since an emp might be off for half a day (forenoon or afternoon), have
the following computed field:
SessionOff: ( And )
The query works fine when there's no criterion on SessionOff.

Has anyone successfully used an Access query from .NET? I am trying to do
this and am getting a weird error. .NET calls queries 'stored procedures'.
The error I am getting says "Schema could not be retrieved for this stored
procedure' ... "The underlying enumerator did not support enumerating objects
of type 'ProcedureParamater'". .Net does recognize the stored procedure i.e.
it does appear in the drop-sdown list.

I have an MS Access query for a table called MyTable. One of my

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
