Birthday Reminder

[aravindkatta]

Hi friends!

I have average knowledge of VB. I want to write a VB program code where one reminds me the birthday of my friends.But I need this as a background process where the program reminds me atleast 5 times in a day.I mean that I should not execute the program everytime to check whether I have missed anybody's birthday.I should be reminded/alerted when the system is logged in.Please help me or suggest me how to do this.Please also suggest if there is any similar program,like Bills Payable reminder.

Thanks in Advance

Put your app to startup and to tray or App.TaskVisible = False

personally i would use the standard windows scheduler (control panel > scheduled tasks) to start 5 times a day a simple application that checks my birthdays database. (just make sure you use the advanced properties settings for your scheduled task, otherwise the schedule schemas are quite poor.)
