Need a quick program. Help with idea's.

[Jes|er]

I need to write a program that will launch a url in IE at a specified time. I'll be at work at the time I need to log into class tomarrow at around 4:30.... (US Mountain time)

I'm not sure how to go about it. Something like:

If DateTimeNow(4:30pm) then
launch www.webname.com\cgi.bin\ etc...

end if


The program would be running all day so when the time
comes the url would be launched. Anyone have some
idea's? I need something simple so I can write it and compile it during my lunch hour.

I've tried a few things but none of them work.

Creat a form with 1 timer and two textboxes and try this:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Interval = 200
        Timer1.Enabled = True
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        TextBox1.Text = DateTime.Now
        If DateTime.Now.ToString = TextBox2.Text Then
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            Shell("explorer.exe [url]http://www.msn.com[/url]", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
        End If
    End Sub

That is perfect! I tested it and it works.

Thanks a bunch!
