Two ways of dealing with this:<br />
<br />
1) Simply use the scheduler for your operating system to run the app. &nbsp;On Windows XP, this would be &quot;Scheduled Tasks&quot; on your control panel.<br />
<br />
2) Have the application ALWAYS running, and in your startup. &nbsp;When it starts up, it takes a look at the time and suspends itself until the next intended run.

Thanks for your comments. Is it possible to use the scheduler to run a web application. I guess from your suggestion what I need is a windows application that has an executable file. Example Myapp.exe<br />
How is that possible to have an application running all the time? <br />
