actually access can't by himself think, so he can check as he want/
when he want, so you need to trigger the code to look for birthdays, so
you need to put it sumwhere. the best i can suggest you, is put the
code in a module procedure, (i havent look at the code the other
provide you maybe it's like that) and call this code on the loading of
each form. that way it will always get triggerd. You still have another
solution that's not touching access at 100%, it would be to make a VB
services that check every Xsec ex:60sec(1 min) check in the database
for birthdays.
