Yes. You can launch Access from the Windows Scheduler, using a command line
such as

"C:\Program Files\yadda\msaccess.exe" "E:\path\yourdata.mdb" /x "runreport"

You would have a macro named runreport; the /x switch will execute that macro.
Be sure to have a Quit line at the end of the macro. Adjust the file and path
names of course.
 
SQL Server Reporting Services has this functionality built in.. how
much is your time worth?

It's called 'subscriptions' to a report- look into it!
