Hi there desrev1
If you have Acrobat (full) you just need to print your publisher doc to the AcrobatPDF printer. I believe there are freeware equivalents of Acrobat available. If you do a search of the Lounge the subject (ie Free PDF converters) has already been covered.

Sorry it’s been a while but I think you’re doing something similar to me so here’s part of my code. I assume you know the set up stuff. Mine is for one item at a time but you could set up a loop of course. RecurrenceType is a long number and you can add RecurrenceInterval. (See OL Help)

‘Write values from variables to fields in the new appt item
With itm
.Subject = “Training Session at ” & strSubject & ” (No ” & lngNo & “)”
.start = dteStart
.Location = strLocation
.End = dteFinish
.ClearRecurrencePattern
‘I found that for some reason you need to clear before you set even tho you think it is clear
‘add recurrence pattern for training session if more than 1 day
If lngDuration > 1 Then
Set myRecur = .GetRecurrencePattern
With myRecur
.RecurrenceType = olRecursDaily ‘or weekly monthly etc
.PatternEndDate = dteEndDate
End With
strMsg = “DATES TRANSFERRED.” & NL _
& “DON’T FORGET THE WALL CHART.”
End If
.Close (olSave)
End With
‘add task reminder for recontact
Set itmT = itms.Add(“IPM.Task”)
With itmT
.Subject = “Send Training follow-up letter to ” & strSubject
.DueDate = dteEndDate + 63
.Close (olSave)
End With

Hope this helps.

I can transfer dates to Outlook from Access and set up recurrence patterns if the needed. Sometimes for me an appointment may last 3 days or repeat over a couple of weeks so instead of entering it in Access several times I have a field that contains the recurrence number. If this is more than 1 the code automatically sets up the recurrence pattern. Is this what you want? If so, I can show you my code and you can adapt it.

I would have thought an easy way to do it from Access would be to open Outlook from code at a given time which would then pop up the due task. I used to automatically run a query if a particular form was opened before 8.15am (don’t ask!!).
Form_OnOpen
if time is less than X
CreateObject(etc)
exit
Something like that! It depends on your users of course but it could work if they’re disciplined (?) or if it’s just for you.

I think iCarbon probably depends on your printer. I work on 300dpi for B/W and play around with contrast to get a good result. It may occasionally mean wasting a sheet of paper but most of the time it goes 1st time. I get good colour copy at 75 dpi and grey scale at 150dpi.

I have a great little program called iCarbon that copies to any printer or fax printer driver. It may also print to a file tho I’ve never tried that. I use my preferred graphic prog to scan direct and save.
I can’t remember where I picked it up but the author’s site is here.

I think if you go into your Word Startup folder (usually ..userApplication DataMicrosoftWord) you’ll see that Adobe has sneaked it in there. Delete it and it bothers you no further.

I’m not in Word at the moment but I’m fairly sure that if you click File|New instead of the menu button you get the whole list of templates from your template folder (and subfolders)

If you use a maketable query in Access then link this, it should work. The MTQ would of course be created from the filtered list of recipients.

What do you see at the moment when you first open the DB. It seems to me the simplest way to do what you want is to open on a little unbound form which says “Do you want to see today’s clients?” . Have 2 buttons, one of which filters your client list by date and the other either exits or goes into some other part of the DB. I ( or lots of other loungers) can show you the code if this sounds right.
