I personally would set-up a separate Access frontend with the security set-up and macro created, Then just use the windows schedule service to open the DB at the specific time. Even if database has credentials saved, just dont share that copy out. You can run the task for a scheduled time frame and then it will close.<br />

Hope this helps<br />

Thanks, Andrew - I'll give it a go.

To have a macro auto-run when you open the DB, or it gets executed by a scheduler... name the macro 'autoexec'.<br />
<br />
Just thought I'd toss that in there as well

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a secured Access XP front-end to a FoxPro database on an internal switched ethernet network. &nbsp;I need to run a macro daily at 11:50 PM. &nbsp;The macro's built and tested. Does anyone know how to kick it off, without user intervention? &nbsp;Both the Access and the FoxPro databases are secured. Will the security settings need to be considered when automatically running the macro? <br />

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
