' You can do it in many ways, here someting to start with...
' Add a timer control to your form and paste this code :

Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 1000 ' per second
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If Hour(Time) & ":" & Minute(Time) = "12:00" Then
MsgBox "It is 12:00 !!!", vbInformation
Timer1.Enabled = False ' app finished his task
End If
End Sub

Yep, simply create an application which has the interface to get appointment details and times.  then you  create the executalbe and make a shortcut to that in the Startup folder.  Then you need a timer to check if the correct time has reached and if so give a reminder.

I am only giving you a possible code to check the time.  It is up to you how you want to get the details of the appointment from the user, etc. (If you need a full program, then increase the points)
