I need to create a reminder function in my program. Like Outlooks. In the Access program I have been working on Tthere is a form where the user enters the action he would like to do to a client. Ex- call, Email, etc. I need to create functionality so that the user can enter an action and set a reminder where in 2 hours, or 2 days, etc a popup will remind him. I am trying to figure out how to work this and I need some help getting started. Let's say I want a reminder on Monday at 2:00. Is there a way to do this or do I need to set a timer so that I calculate how much time will elapse util that day and that hour and set a reminder then?

Thanks for any help.
 
Hi aw23,

Rather than me paraphrasing them here, take a look at the answers in the referenced thread.

I have had a quick play and didn't quite get the results I expected, but see how you get on.

Enjoy,
Tony
