    <p>You need to have some event in order to fire this event. An Access database is just a file, so when you're not using it, it's not running any code.</p> <p>Doing a simple check every time the database is opened, maybe on the first form's On Load event would be the way to go. I assume your <code>DiscountEmail</code> RecordSet is the one querying for emails within the 3 day period.</p> <p>Your solution is to either put this in the onLoad event for your first form or to use another service. As far as not spamming the emailee more than once, just add a <code>emailSent</code> field or log sent emails to a different table, and handle it after the email is sent.</p> <p>Example query to find the relevant emails:</p> <pre><code>Select email from Users Where dateOfBirth between dateAdd("d",-3,Date()) AND dateAdd("d",3,Date()); </code></pre> <p>Do send an email, you could use SMTP and CDO. Create an email function called something like <code>sendEmail</code></p> <pre><code> Public Sub SendEmail(strTo as STring, strFrom as String, strSubj as String, strBody as String) Dim imsg As Object Dim iconf As Object Dim flds As Object Dim schema As String Set imsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") Set iconf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") Set flds = iconf.Fields ' send one copy with SMTP server (with autentication) schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/" flds.Item(schema &amp; "sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort flds.Item(schema &amp; "smtpserver") = "mail.myserver.com" 'your info here flds.Item(schema &amp; "smtpserverport") = 25 flds.Item(schema &amp; "smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic flds.Item(schema &amp; "sendusername") = "email@email.com" 'more of your info flds.Item(schema &amp; "sendpassword") = "password" flds.Item(schema &amp; "smtpusessl") = False flds.Update With imsg .To = strTo .From = strFrom .Subject = strSubj .HTMLBody = strBody '.body = strBody '.Sender = "Sender" '.Organization = "My Company" '.ReplyTo = "address@mycompany.com" Set .Configuration = iconf .Send End With Set iconf = Nothing Set imsg = Nothing Set flds = Nothing End Sub </code></pre> <p>You could either loop through the resultset of your query and call your sendmail function for each email, or write a quick helper function that fetches and concatenates your email fields into a ";" delimited list, and just send the email once with multiple recipients.</p>

    1. COOh ok, so 'DiscountEmail' needs to be a query? I just found this code elsewhere, and didn't know how to apply it. I guess what I'm asking then is that if I put make this code onLoad, how can I make a query which will suit my needs?

    2. COYeah, discount email should be a query like `SELECT email FROM Users WHERE dateOfBirth <= date() OR dateOfBirth >= date();`

    3. COOR? Wouldn't it be `AND`? So for example `WHERE dateOfBirth <= date() AND dateOfBirth >= date(); so its so that the DOB is between Today() AND 3daysAway` ?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
