Hello,

I have a small executable and it's just like a reminder, it's pretty small, but my question is how can i execute this executable when it reach a certain time, i.e. will remind that my oil change is due...

thanks!
 
You could run the .EXE from your computer`s start up menu and have it shut down if there are no reminders due that day.

Since I don't know what OS you're using, I'll volunteer mine as the basis. I am using Windows 2000.

Under Control Panel...Scheduled Tasks, you can add a task
to execute the VFP .exe whenever you wish.
