I have written a VB.net application that uses an Access database. I have a table that displays the following information.
Customer Name
Customer Phone
Customer Address
Shipping status
Now in my vb.net application I am displaying these 4 things in a data grid. But here is the problem. The shipping team updates their database daily with the new Shipping status. So to get the latest shipping status I created a linked table, lets call is link_shipping. Now All I have to do is somehow get the shipping status field from link_shipping and update the respective table in my database with this info.
To do this I created a query. but now I am having to manually go into my database and run this query to make sure the shipping dates sync up. How can I do this in a better way. The only thing I can think of is to find some way to automate the running of this query every day. But I dont know how to do this. Can anyone suggest anything here.
