You need to check the system time using a timer control at a particular time interval and pop up the message at the desired time.

Better to hide the form and run the application from system tray.

Try This

Dim tmTime
Private Sub Form_Load()

tmTime = Format("20:48:0 0", "hh:mm:ss") ' Fetch from Recordet the time here
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Interval = 100
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If tmTime = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") Then
MsgBox "aa" 'Trigger here
End If
End Sub
