Creating a reminder

52 New Member
hi,
I'm trying to create a reminder. i have 2 forms one for to set the reminder and one to view all the reminders. these reminders are recorded on access. i can save the reminder and the other form shows the reminders, but it does not alert the user at the time the reminder is set unless your on the form that shows all the reminders. i just used if rs!(record set)time = time and re!date = date then show msgbox. im thinkin that t might be a global thing but i don't know how to code it like that. if anyone has done anything like this then can you please help me.
Thank YoU

Use a timer control to handle the background work. Make sure you hide your form instead of unloading it since the form is what will keep the program in memory (at least, in VB 6 which is what I am assuming you are using).
In the timer event, check your database for what you need then load and show your reminder as needed.

You need to run your code in a timer event.
Better to run the application in the system tray.

Hi I want to implement an auto reminder like outlook that pops up at the specified time. I think there would be some sort of timer that will check when an appointment is due and pop-up the reminder if needed.

Hi all, I would like to create a very simple 'lite' version of Outlook Calendar's reminder function. I will use a windows service that will read timedate stamps from a db and compare them to Now. This seems that it will create a lot of processor overhead in terms of 'how often shall I check the db?'. I wonder if I check it hourly and save...
