have you checked the MSDN (if you dont have the msdn library, you can see it free online at msdn.microsoft.com under the library button, or just search for it.) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
Hi. You can launch your Apps when windows is starting (In registry for example) & every 5sec you look the time & when you want you launch your Apps.<br>I've never see the function your talking about Apps.OnTime ???<br><br>Try my game aginst Pokemon : <A HREF=" TARGET="_new">

I have checked MSDN (I have it up all day) but being new on the scene there's a lot to sort through. I'm just at stand still with an interface I built for file manipulation. It works great but I want it to work great on its own at 1am.<br><br>Thanks for the response.<br><br>"Apps.OnTime" is a product of VBA. Ie. excel, access...<br><br>I have a registry key set for it to run on boot up.<br>Are you saying "have it check the system time every 5 sec and then launch when it matches mytime"??<br><br>Thank you<br>
Have you looked at the scheduling tool in control panel?
