There are several components to this task including:
- A way to select the tasks due in exactly 10 days
- A way to select the email addresses for the employees assigned to those tasks
- A way to compose and send the email notices.
The way to put that all together depends, in part, on how your tables are designed, and also on how you want to trigger this process. It also depends on what email client your organization uses.
This is going to have to be a generic description since we don't have those details from you yet.
Write a query that selects tasks from the task table.
Select TaskID, TaskName, TaskDueDate, EmployeeFirstName & " " & EmployeeLastName AS AssignedEmployee
FROM tblTask INNER JOIN tblEmployee On TblTask.AssignedEmployeeID = tblEmployee.EmployeeID
WHERE tblTask.TaskDueDate = DateAdd("D",10,Date) AND tblTask.TaskCompleteDate is Null;
Notice the WHERE clause. It assumes that you do not want to send reminders for tasks that have already been completed ahead of the due date and that you will do this every day, including weekends. If your organization doesn't want to include weekends, the process gets more complicated, of course.
You'll want to set up some method of triggering this process, which can be a command button on a form that a supervisor clicks, or an automatic process that runs when the accdb is opened every day or some other event occurs....
You will also need a VBA function to loop through the recordset generated by this query and send an email message to the employees selected.
Here's a template that you can modify to your situation.
