Hi You can try to use Timer component of .NET framework. In this component you can set interval. That's mean is every time the timer reach to interval time (for example 1000ms) tick event will be automatically fired by the timer component. And you can do anything you want in this event. You can check is the current time reached to the alarm time and if it is you can show a message box or something else. private void timer1_Tick(.......) { timer1.Stop(); if( DateTime.Now >= AlarmTime ) { MessageBox.Show(Alarm. Alarm.); AlarmTime.AddDays(1); // set the new alarm time. } timer1.Start(); } I hope this is what you need. Good luck.

Hi Sounds a bit like Home Work but you haven't included too many details so.... Assuming you are using a Microsoft Windows Visual C# to do it I would use a DateTimePicker from Common Controls as well as a list box to store things and look into to using the DateTime structure ie: DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; for setting the alert time combined with a message box ie: MessageBox.Show(dt.ToString()); That should give you a prod in the right direction with out giving you the solution if it is Home Work.
