I want a particular event to execute  automatically each day at 4pm (OnEntry code in a command button 'NeedToPurch').  

I can't quite get the logic, commands 'to have the code periodically (every 10 minutes) automatically check the day/time' and then kick off the report automatically when the time is between a certain time frame (If @DOW contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and @time >3:50pm..<4:01pm)   then RunTheCode.

oh, that's a cool idea.  I use batch reports and scheduled tasks for other stuff, anyway.  So that part of it will be a breeze.  

Hmmm, let's see ... the 'report' is actually a command button that cranks code in a loop and then Writeln's each loop result to the screen (which we then just click File and print out).  So basically I would set up a 2nd Sesame client on Cheryl's workstation, and the sched task would kickoff the batch file, which would start Sesame-session-2, which would run the command button code, which would Writeln the output to the screen, so she can either refer to it on screen or print it out, and then just exit that second session of Sesame manually.   Correct?

Hammer,

I took your advice (mostly).  I just made a little batch file that pops up a Notepad note (using Scheduled Tasks) that reminds Cheryl to run NeedToPurch report.   Once I thought about it, that's all I want to do, is make sure she remembers to run it at a certain time (during the period that we're testing the automated calcs against our old way of doing things).

Thanks again!
