You will need to create some kind of table to hold the birthdays. Then add some code to trigger the opening "Popup" of a form when the system date matches one or more birthday records.

However, the biggest issue will be when to trigger that check. I would suggest it be done on the database open event or on the open event of some form that would always be opened like the switchboard or custom menu.

You have not provided enough information as to why what you tried didn't work.

MMcCarthy's suggestion and further question is, quite simply, the solution many of us would have given.

Please post your code or describe what you have tried so far to acheave your goal... include any error messages (number and descriptions) that occur and if there is an issue with the SQL or VBA please provide.
