How to trigger event by time

[lancrye]

Hi,

I placed on a userform a label that is showing the current system time - lblClock.
In addition I placed few text boxes with different times.
My problem is that I want to trigger an event any time that the time in one of the text boxes is equal to the time in lblClock as long as the application is opened.

Thanks in advance for your help (access 2007)

You can use the timer interval property of the form. A non zero value (1 equals 1/1000 th of a second) is used to trigger the OnTimer event, allowing you to execute code (testing the text fields) every x seconds.
(See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb216033.aspx)

A warning is however in place. I've experienced that a Timer event can cause the execution of other VBA code to be interrupted and giving strange errors. So I never use the timer event as I only want a "solid" application.

try using the following code
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim dtrunreport As Date
Dim dtCurTime As Date

dtrunreport = Format(#9:37:00 AM#, "hh:mm")
dtCurTime = Format(Time(), "hh:mm")

If DatePart("w", Date) = 6 Then

If dtCurTime = dtrunreport Then
DoCmd.DoMenuIte m acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Dim outfile As String
Dim objol As New Outlook.Applica tion
Dim objmail As MailItem
Set objol = New Outlook.Applica tion
Set objmail = objol.CreateIte m(olMailItem)
With objmail

.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = "Check Voicemails"
.Body = ""

.NoAging = True

.Display
.Send

DoCmd.Close
End With

End If
