how do i set up a repeating task in access

[Guest]

Im using Access 200. I have made a database for machine maintenance. How can
I set up a task generator to tell me what is due for a desired time period?
Example: I come to work on Monday and I want to see what tasks are due that
week, month, whatever. If I say a weekly task is to empty trash, it should
generate a report each week with a new due date.
Thanks,
Rick

Well, the prerequisite for a database to answer your queries
is for the appropriate data to reside in a relational table
structure.

So, you'll need to describe the fields in the relevant
tables before someone can help you create the query you're
looking for.
