What is the mechanism for determining the expiry date. At what point is the message to pop-up? (Application start? Or is is supposed to sit in the background somewhere until it needs to display a reminder?) ASGill wrote: and is there a namespace to make this function easier? What do you mean by this? Do you mean is there a class to make this easier? Perhaps the System.Threading.Timer[^] class would be helpful.
