I found links on how to made a drop down list in access & how to make a send email button but now I'm stuck. Imagine theres a PEOPLE table with a checkbox for each record and you have about 10 custom messages to send to each in various moments. You have a separate table just to stamp the message button you pressed with the time & date, to keep track.
IMO, that checkbox is a handy way to make this as simple as possible. Its the multiple send email button(s) that will:
a. loop through for the check box
b. get the persons email from another table
c. stamp to activity table the date&time + write associated PEOPLEID FK and finally
d. reset checkbox when done.

Please assume db structure is well so I can start plowing through this one.

this post makes me laugh, just yesterday I finished the task involved and wow, funny how something I thought was going to be so trivial ended up being a grueling task.
