moin, moin...!

try something like this:

If @WDay = 1 Then
    Sleep(90000)
        RunFunction()
    Else
        Exit
EndIf

[big_daddy]

This should work:

#Include <Date.au3>



While 1
$Time = _NowTime(4)
    If $Time == "hh:mm" Then;change hh:mm to whatever time you want it to run
        ExitLoop
    Else
        Sleep(500);you can make this longer if you don't need it to be exact
    EndIf
WEnd
;Whatever function you want to run here

Edit: I had the variable outside the while statement

Edit: And an EndIf

Nice! I'll have to remember that...

I tried the sample script in the helpfile but that gives me an error. I will further research, but thanks anyway!

Are you saying you tried my code along with a script from the help file and it didn't work? I just tested it with a few of my scripts and it worked fine.

Are 2 equal signs there on purpose? Maybe thats the error

Several ways to accomplish this...

- Use one of the inbuilt macros to ascertain the time and go from there (@Hour etc). This requires script to be running all the time.

- Use Windows Scheduler to launch a script at a predetermined time.

from the help file under Operators:

== Tests if two values are equal (case sensitive if used with strings)

edit:

= Tests if two values are equal (case insensitive if used with strings).

Sometimes I get a one track mind. Plus I haven't used Windows Scheduler in a few years, so I totally forgot it.

Thanks
