Not using any built in functionality. If the database is open, yo ucan have
code that runs and checks the system date and time to perform functions.
 
Can you schedule monthly reports to run automatically in Access?

There are some command line options available for Access. See:

http://www.vb123.com/workbench/help/commandline.htm

Using the switch "/x macro_name" will execute that macro, so if you create
a shortcut like

c:\office\msaccess.exe "C:\path_to_your_database
\name_of_your_database.mdb" /x macro

and have it executed in (task) scheduler it will at the date/time open that
database in Access and run the macro.
If you include action to open and print the report you probably get more or
less what you are looking for.
