I'm having trouble finding a way to trigger an event at a specified time.

How can I set something off at say: 5:30pm every day without using a lot of system resources?

Thanks.

Dave

If the application is not to run continuously, then schedule it in the Windows Task Scheduler. Otherwise, use a timer to check the current time every 60 seconds.
