How can I schedule a Macro to run automatically in Access 2007

Question

I\'d like to have a macro, called Macro1, for example, run every day at 9 AM. It works great on its own from the VB code editor in Access 2007 but I would like it to be able

You can use a MS Access command line switch to run a macro. If you search for "commandline" in Access help, the topic "Startup command-line options" gives you all the commandline switches. The switch for running a macro is x macro.

So, if you write your macro to run whatever you want and have it exit Access when it finishes, you can then create a commandline that will do the trick and put it in a batch file that the Windows Task Scheduler can execute.

However, as I said in a comment above, if you are just running some queries, I'd say it makes more sense to bypass Access entirely and use DAO directly in a scheduled vbScript to execute the queries.
