Hi Danny

Thanks for that, I understand you response & really appreciate the code 
snippet, I probably should have been more specific.

If I wanted to do something at 5:00pm everyday like 

1. SMS a summary of incoming calls to my boss 

or 

2. Turn the phone off 

or 

3. Calculate the cost of the days outgoing calls

I know how to do each of these tasks.

What I am not certain about doing - Is the best way to make it happen at 5:00pm 
or 5:30pm or 6:00pm (or whatever time the user has configured that this should 
occur).

I am wondering if there 

Is a "new" way of registering for a notification that I can say should occur at 
a specific time eg 5:00pm.

or

Do I need to poll my program every minute (which I dont think is the correct 
way to do this on a Treo)

or

Something else completely different to the two above I have not considered.

This is a process I would call a batch process (this is a very old computer 
term, the language I learned after C was Cobol & batch processing was mainly 
what cobol was used to do on IBM mainframes).

I want something to happen at a particular time :D

TIA

NG
