How do you start a query/macro automatically at a specific time

I would like a specific query or macro to start in an Access database at a
particular time each day.

Can this be done?

Hi Ken,

One method that you could use would be to add a scheduled task to Windows,
with a command line parameter that included the path to msaccess.exe, the
path to your database, and the /X macroname command line parameter. For more
information on the use of command line parameters, see this KB article:
