Re: Can reminders or notices be set in Access 2000?

Yes and yes.
First and simply, it is possible to have Access create and manage task items in Outlook. Its just a matter of learning the Outlook object model which if you've done any VBA programing in Access won't be too difficult. Snoop around in the MS Knowledge Base and/or the internet and you should find plenty of information on automation.

Second, in a one of my first databases, I created a form which displayed information pertaining to when a client was last contacted. It was a matter of capturing when the file was last modified and then subtracting that date from today's date to get the age and then sorting descending - the oldest would be displayed first. Applying this to your situation, you could create a form that lists records continuously that require attention. When a user opens the DB, the form would be automatically displayed.
