MARS

MARS is an application for Windows that provides the ability to define single or packages of Access reports, queries, macros and tasks; schedule and run them automatically, and send them to print, fax, disk, FTP or E-mail in a number of standard formats. To use, you set up a schedule stating how often you would like each report or query to run, whether you'd like the output in Word, Excel, HTML, RTF, Acrobat, text format, and more, and who it should be sent to.

Use standard frequencies like daily, weekly, monthly or set up your own custom frequencies; e.g. 4-4-3, every other day, third Monday of the month. The same report or query can be scheduled to be run multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies, and destinations.

Schedules can be set to run based on events rather than date. With MARS' Event Based Schedules, you can have reports fired off when events occur; e.g. a database value is present, a file is modified, or a window is present.

MARS' Dynamic Schedule process can trawl through your database to find the parameter values to use and then generate and deliver a unique report for each value.

MARS' Custom Actions can be scheduled and used to run another program, enter values in a database, modify a file and more. MARS' features an Explorer-like interface for the definition and scheduling of report packages, context (right-click) menus, and full copy-and-paste support.

The scheduling service runs as a desktop application, or as an NT service. It will integrate with Exchange Server 5 (SP4) and above (2000 and 2003) or SMTP.
