Can I run a n Access macro triggerred by an action outside Access? For
example, trigger the macro by a new file in folder or based on the time of
day?

Morris,
You could use Windows Task Manager to strat Access at a certain time.
Any Access mdb with a macro named AutoExec will run that macro at
startup.
Also check out Command Line and Command Line Options in Help... see the
/x option.
