Now I want what I've asked for in the thread title. The event would be for example the time changing to "12:00"

Thanks a lot

Another website after some Googling (http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=93500) told me that I can use a popupmenu?? I'm not sure how I go about that but I gave this a shot and it didn't work:

Sub PopupMenuVisible()
If Time >= "12:00" Then PopupMenu.Visible = True
If Time >= "12:00" Then PopupMenu.Caption = "It's the Afternoon!"
End Sub

I'm aware if that code *did* work, it'll be visible forever (as opposed to a set time of let's say 5 seconds), but I was going to deal with that when I got the first bit working.

Thanks again,

Max

A PopupMenu is basically a right-click menu (like you get if you right-click on a web page, etc).

The description of what you want is far from clear, but I don't think you want a PopupMenu. What I think you want is a window that "appears" (perhaps slide in to view) and stays there for a while... which you can do by creating (and moving) a Form.

Create a form and move it to the bottm corner when its 12 and make it visible for acouple seconds then back to invisible?

Sorry. What I'm asking for is a Tool tip box (?) but Max's suggestion seems a simple solution.
