• Learning VB Appointment Reminder Help

  First off, if this is in the wrong forum move it please. Ok, so... I am making a program that would help remind someone of an appointment. It has four basic objects - a DateTimePicker, a Button, a TextBox, and a CheckBox. I have set the DateTimePicker to a custom format of dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy -- hh:mm:ss tt. When the user sets the date and time and clicks the appropiately named "Add" button, it will add it to a list of appointments - the textboxes. Of course these probably aren't the best way to list them is it, but more on that later... When the system time reaches what is in the textbox it is supposed to alert them and give them maybe a couple of choices of dismissing it or moving it. The checkbox I haven't decided 100% on, ...Show All

You'll have to read through the HTML source, look for the info you want (either by title or by design) and then build the XML document. You've probably got a lot to learn about programming and VB before you can attempt this. Hie rkimble, ...Show All
