I want to be able to print a large portion of updated information from my
data base monthly for hardcopy, can I have Access do this for me in the
evening so that its finished printing when I come into the office in the
morning? I want to free my time up and printing it when I need the system is
causing alot of headache right now.

Why not just start it before you leave in the evening?

I guess the big question here is, Why kill all those trees? Just make a
backup copy of your database once in a while.

I am looking to print only a select report monthly, and I want to know if we
can set it up automatically, I guess what I really want is know it will print
and be on my printer on the 1st of every month.

What you'll need to do is create a Macro which runs the report, and
open Access from Windows Scheduler using the /x runtime command line
switch to execute that macro.
