    If you are using NT then you can use NT Schedule to run this look at the at command from dos prompt at /?

    if you are on windows then this is a different matter.

    You could have a snall exe running all the time with a timer that checks the time and if it is the time you want it launch you application but this is not nice.

    You could create a form that would load up first with a timer on it. The Timer would keep checking to see if it is time to run the "main" portion of the program.

    The timer would then load up another form containing your program that should be running.

    Hope this helps you in some way. )
