Create a Daily TO-DO List that will update itself.

[Guest]

I want to develop a TO-DO List that will basically write itself. I need to
be able to tell it that if I do TASK A on Day 1, then, I need to do Task B on
Day 2, and Task C on Day 3. I would like the TO DO List to print off as a
one-page document. I will have tasks coming from four departments.

Can I use Excel or Access to create this? How would I set this up?

Since Outlook (which comes with Office Pro along with Excel and
Access) has an excellent calendaring program with very flexible ToDo
lists, automatic reminders, print options, etc., I'd suggest using it.

You can certainly do it in Access or Excel, but you'll need to do it
from scratch; afaik there are no "to-do list" templates. It shouldn't
be hard either way though.

I was about to ask the same question and hope I'm not intruding on this
thread. But here is another question. Where can I find some information on
how to send tasks for a ToDo list from an Access Database and have it start
Outlook automatically daily, or is that possible. What I need is a means of
setting up tasks based on certain criteria in a database. Now it must have
the ability to keep this data until the task is completed as well as add new
ones. Also would this require another table to be added. If so please give
me an idea of how to structure it. This is for a storage facility program
I've been trying to develop for my own use. All the help I could get would
be appreciated.
