Hi Experts,
I have a report based on 7 day reminder query that flags all the people that have 7 days or less to go to the course. I need to open query via the VBA code, pick up their employ numbers and then write to the Course Table under their particular record the exact date of reminder (Now) in 7 days reminder field. How do I do that?
P.S. I have managed to open the query thus far (see code below). For some reason it only picks up the last employer number although there is more than one? Should I be doing this in Repot_Load subroutine?

Hi,
I have to do it this way in terms of the process. Once the 7 days reminder report is sent, I just need to record in the table the actual date when it was sent to per each person. So I am defacto updating table from the query, not from the report.
RE code, I thought so and have checked it in the VBA immediate window code. Still it seems to be picking up only the last person emp id?

Just laoding the report does not mean it was sent to anyone! Again, I think the better design is to have an over-arching process (macro, form, etc) that generates the report, sends it, then records the fact that it was sent.
For example, use your query as the basis for a make table query. Use the make table query as a source for the report. Use the make table query as the basis for an update query. If the process fails at any point along the way, then the date does not get updated.
As for the code. To help diagnose, put msgbox cstr(count) before the loop. Put msgbox cstr(i) inside the loop.

Hmmm... it's a little unusual to update a table from a report. I'd prefer to see you update the table from a macro or form that is external to the report and then report out the records just updated.
As for the actual update, it's much easier to use an update query instead of procedural code that loops thru one recordset and updates another.
Your code appears to actually loop through all the rows of your 7 day reminder query and load an array with the emp_numbers. I think it is picking them all up!! Why do you think otherwise?
