Hi,

i want to make a program that will open a program/file at a set time. How can i make my program prompt the user to enter a time/date to start the program?

the way i have it now is my program prompts the user for a number of hours

Local $hours = InputBox("Count Down", "Enter number of hours", "0")

and i have a countdown code which counts down from the number of hours and opens the program when its counts down to 0. but having the user choose a time/date would be much better

thanks

Probaby would be better if you created a GUI to handle it instead of using MsgBoxes() You will have to post the pertinent code to get help with the GUI
