Saving Files?

[flog3941]

I am trying to copy a file to another location automatically. Can this happen without the program running?What I have now works only if the program is running.

Heres what I have:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If DateTime.Now.Hour = 19 And DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Minutes = 22 And DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Seconds = 0 Then
Dim fnam As String = System.DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString & ".tst"
fnam = fnam.Replace("/", "_")
File.Copy("C:\Program Files\TAK Software\Time Clock\tim.tst", "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Tim\Tim" & fnam, True)
End If
End Sub

This Code copies the file at 7:22:00

The program has to be running.

It sounds like you want to configure your application so that it doesn't show up in the task bar and loads automatically when you start the PC. Am I right?

There is a property you can set on the form not to have it displayed on the taskbar. Even better, you could create a form-less application.

If you install your application into the Programs/Start Up directory then it will always run.

Does this help?
