Hi,

You need to use a Timer to coordinate when you need to run what you want. You can set the timer Interval to what ever accuracy you need and then call your code from the Timer's tick event to complete your task.

You can't use the application to run the application at a specific time. If the application is running then you can use a Timer to have it do something at a specific time but if the application isn't running then it can't run itself. Windows has a built-in Scheduled Tasks utility that allows you to tell the OS to run specific applications at specific times. It has a commandline interface that you can invoke using a batch file or using Process.Start in VB code.

Ah,

Good point jmcilhinney, I did not interpret the post in that way but I think you have made better sense of it.

Cheers,
