folks..any ideas on how to enable an Ms Access database to send an e-mail when it is updated

is it easier to do from within access or via a .NET app ( doing a simple check on the db tables to look for changes)

    Hi,

    1. When data was updated

    I don't think you can automatically "triggered" by a change to database in Access. What you have to do is to check the updated time of the table manually.

    Try this.

    For Each obj in Application.AllTables
    Debug.Print obj.DateModified
    Next

    2. Sending Emails
    Have you ever consider using automation and control Outlook to send email for you

    Hope this can help.

    I know you can do this in SQL Server, in MS Access you could probably use VBA. I'll move this thread to the VBA forums for the experts to help you on this, to see if you can send an email after an update/insert of data in the access database
