Perform operation at a particular time...

I want to have my app write a report once/day at a certain time. How to do? Too many formats for time and can't get it to work.

Thanks

Duh!! Sorry about that.

You can use a planned operation of your system. Search it in "control panel" and lunch your .exe at planned time each day.

If you need you can do a control also in your program using a timer.
Just do a periodical control (once a minute) in the timer event in wich you test if the system "DateTime" is the DateTime you want the program do the report.

Contact me if you need the code.

Place a Timer control on an form which will stay unloaded
during execution.

Set its interval as 60,000 (a minute) and set it enabled
property to True at starting time.

In side the Timer Interval event, check the time to see
if the set time is already passed, then issue the command.
For example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 60000
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Dim CurrentTime As Date
CurrentTime = #9:11:00 AM#
If CurrenTime < Now Then
MsgBox Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss")
' Do your command, then stop the timer
Timer.Enable = False
End Sub
