I would like to have an Access module lauch on it's own at a specified time. In doing so I'd like to have it import a table and then run some modules. I am new to Access and wonder if this sort of thing is possible.

Hi,
You can follow this link and find a scheduler utility.
It will allow you to open a database. From there you should be able to create a macro (make sure to set it to run when the db opens - you need to name the macro something special, but I can't remember it off the top of my head) that runs on startup to perform you tasks (i.e. - import tables, run tasks, print reports). HTH,
