microsoft access calendar

[Guest]

Hey all. I am trying to use the new access 2007 'Events' template to store
the dates but also automatically send out reminders to email addresses about
the event. The latter, is the issue I've been having since I don't see any
options for it but it says on the template you can do it. Anyone have any
suggestions?

I don't believe the Events template can actually send automatic reminders,
but you can send the events via email. If you open an event (by double
clicking on it in the Event List form), the Event Details form has an email
button which will allow you to send the details of the event via email.

You'll find some of MVP Duane Hookum's examples of using Calendars at
http://www.access.hookom.net/Samples.htm and, after you generate an
application with the templates, you can open in Design View and enhance it.
Of course, that will involve more than just making simple choices on forms
as you did to generate the application from the templates.
