Disable Button???????

I have a program that I want to run only once a day. I want the user only to be allowed hit the command button once. Then at 5 oclock the next day I want the button to be enabled again. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach. I know that I need a timer event but I have no idea on how to disable the command button until the next day.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
JK

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
  Dim myTime As String
  myTime = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS: AMPM")
  If myTime = "05:00:00 PM" Then cmdWhat.Enabled = True
End Sub

---

And make sure to disable the command button after it's clicked.

Code:

---

Public Sub Command1_Click()
    Command1.Enabled = False
    'Do other stuff here.
End Sub

---

GL,
D!m

Save the data of pressing the button either in a file or in the registry, on run of the prog, check if CurrentData - OldDate > 1 day (or 24 hours)

Thanks a lot guys

You to matey, that's what ya wanted?

jop
you would still need a timer
If you start the pgm at 4:58 the button is disabled
(assuming it is always disabled from load)
at 5:00,6,7,etc, the button will still be disabled.

If, however, kanejone starts the program once a day and just wants the button enabled after 5:00 pm each day, then your method is the way to go as it doesn't include a timer with it's duty on the processor.

Either way...the answer is there. :D
