Outlook interface with Access

[Guest]

I would like to create a task/reminder in Outlook based on an entry in
Access. So for instance, I enter data in the database and want to be reminded
at some future date in my Outlook to work further on that Access data.

If I have a team using this database and creating reminders, will they only
be created in their personal Outlook? How can I place a reminder in
everyone's outlook?

Hi Cheese,

You could send a meeting request to all the team members:

They will receive the invite as an email and when they accept the meeting it
will populate their calendars.

That of course would work fine from Outlook, I was looking to do something
while in Access...like populate a date field that would interface with
Outlook for that date and create a task for that date.

Did you look at the code samples? This is not meant to be done from OUTLOOK,
I meant from within Access - the VB section gives you the basics of how to
bring this into an Access module, either as a separate function or a on
click sub of a button.
