Well, those are the ways I know of to do a timer sort of thing.

You could I suppose set task reminders but those might not have the
granularity you might need. You can only use a granularity of 1 minute. You
would the have to catch the reminder firing and cancel the display of the
reminder plus dismissing it and then deleting the task so the user won't see
it. It might take some experimentation to try to get the reminder canceled
without showing it or playing a reminder sound, although that can be
disabled when you set the reminder.

Ken,

Thank you again for the reply..

I do not have VB 6 installed and this project does not otherwise use a
userform, I could look into calling Win32 API's - although I haven't done
this type of thing before. I have used system information before
(usernames,
logon names) in VBA so I can probably find how to get the system time and
I
would be able to use that.

I have been experimenting with .DeferredDeliveryTime but have had some
flaky
results. At first I thought this was just due to the different 'time' on
my
PC and the mail server, but I also managed to end up with deferred emails
that never sent.

I also have been seeing suggestions to use task reminders for triggers but
have not found an example yet.
