Is there a way to have some kind of a reminder feature that pops up like an
alarm or task list using Access?

If so, can anybody guide me on how to implement it?

Thank you.
 
Dirk, you did it again! Thanks so much.

You can do it, but it requires you to have a form that is always open
(and, of course, a database that is always open while you want the
feature to operate). The form, which may be hidden, will have its Timer
event set to fire on short intervals -- every minute, maybe. In the
Timer event procedure, you check a table of scheduled events for any
that are now due, display a message box for alerting the user about
those that are, and update the table to reflect the fact that the item
was processed.
