Dear Ashley, I believe this can be accomplished with the application M.S. Reporting, which I have been told should come bundled with MS SQL Server 2005. I think you have to be pretty well versed in SQL, though. MS Reporting is the only application that I have heard of that can "automatically" email scheduled moves alerts, etc. You should also be able to automatically send updates, i.e. each month a list of new accessions are emailed to all on a selected distribution list. Sorry I don't know more.

I seem recall hearing about the ability to have the TMS system 'talk' to Outlook for deadlines and scheduled moves. Has anyone successfully done this or can it even be done? And does it need a lot of work from our IT department? Just curious... Thanks, Ashley Ashley Burke Assistant Registrar The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art 5401 Bay Shore Rd.
