Script to send email before a particular date

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a training database which will send an email reminder to users 90 days before their training expires, but I'm having trouble writing a script!

I would like the email to send to Personnel Records::Email and for it to be sent 90 days before Training::Expires.

Could someone give me a hand?

Thank you!

Try this one. You might want to add a flag field like “Reminder sent” to the Training table and set it in the script.

Thank you so much!

Could you please tell me where you entered the script?

It's called in the OnOpenFirstWindow script.

I'm probably being very stupid here, but how do you get to the OnOpenFirstWindow script?
