The small subroutine below will allow you to check at or after a year has passed using the datediff function
You may of course wish to edit the message text
sub Annualmsg(dtofLastEntry as date)
if DateDiff("yyyy", Now, dtofLastEntry)>= 1 then
msgbox "It has been a year or more since this record was accessed"
end if
end sub
