from manual to automatic.

| In dbase plus, I have a system that downloads PDAs into the database. Every
evenings, the user has to hit "Upload" button to upload file to the main
office.
I want to have dbase watch for 9pm and "Upload" automaticly to main office.
What is the best way of doing this ?
Thanks
Paul

| Use a timer in your program. You can create a small, stand-alone program
that simply "lurks" in the background for a specific time, then "wakes up"
when Time() returns the expected start time.
type
help timer class
there is also a decent example for how to use the timer...
HTH,
Jan
