Thanks

... query our servers every 3 hours to see if there is an update, upload certain files to vendors if required, and perform a backup each night after midnight. This eliminates a lot of problems with my clients. Thanks Antonio for having both the tray class and the timer class. Tim

OK ... I worked this out but for anyone else who has an issue.

IF your timer will go for longer than the current day, do not use Seconds( ). By default it resets to 0 at midnight.

Instead I used ElapTime( ) which will take into account when a day changes, and keep right on working !

Of course, take care if the second time is LESS than the first. In such case first calculate the time difference from TIME1 to midnight, then the difference from midnight to TIME2 Then add both differences Dear Codemaster, Thanks for the insight! Before I read this thread this morning. ...

... is shut down, the shortcut is in the startup folder so it will run again when the "server" is turned back on. Backups are daily ( afer midnight ), and other submissions are on their scheduled basis. The program will cycle every six hours, so it does this 4 times a day. If an update ...
