Does anyone have a script for a MsgBox that launches at a specified time interval? I want to make a reminder box that goes off every 10 minutes.

bfalkowski,
Hello there, If I'm understanding what your asking for you could drop a Timer Control on your Form and set the Interval property to 60000 which is (1 Minute) the Maximum you can set the property to is 65535. Then add the following code:
Dim minutes As Integer
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
minutes = minutes + 1
If minutes = 10 Then
MsgBox "Beep! Beep!"
minutes = 0
End If
End Sub
Or, maybe you could use variable = Time in the Timer1_Timer routine and use the Mod operator to see if the minutes portion is divisible by 10, rather than adding to a variable, then it would fire when the system time was 10,20,30 etc minutes after the hour.
Just a couple of suggestion that may be helpful to you.

Ferlin.
