Hi All

I was hoping somebody could help me.
I need some VB code to trigger an event such as a text box on Monday each week. It's for a database I am writing at work and I need it to i display a text box stating that calibration is due on Monday every week

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Cheers
 
Come on surely somebody must know or is VB just that prehistoric now?

Hi!

I use Rapid-Q basic, but in VB it's similar imho/
You can use DATE$ function
A function that returns a string containing the current date formatted as MM-DD-YYYY. Where MM = month (1-12), DD = day (1-31) and YY = year (1980-2099)

To get Weekday you can use this function
Weekday(Date[, FirstDayOfWeek])

heh.. you also can use this Win Api funtion from VB.

'-----------------
Private Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)
Private Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer
wHour As Integer
wMinute As Integer
wSecond As Integer
wMilliseconds As Integer
End Type
Private Sub Form_Load()
'KPD-Team 1998
'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
'KPDTeam@Allapi.net
Dim SysTime As SYSTEMTIME
'Set the graphical mode to persistent
Me.AutoRedraw = True
'Get the system time
GetSystemTime SysTime
'Print it to the form
Me.Print "The System Date is:" & SysTime.wMonth & "-" & SysTime.wDay & "-" & SysTime.wYear
Me.Print "The System Time is:" & SysTime.wHour & ":" & SysTime.wMinute & ":" & SysTime.wSecond
End Sub


WBR, Andrew
 
Many thanks for that diakin, will give it a go tomorrow and see how I get on :) reps to you :)
 
Hmmm actually looking at the code it seem it report the current date and the current time? What I want to happen is every Monday, for there to be a message box pop up to say "calibration is due".

Cheers

This code enable to understand that "today is Monday" ;)
(see wDayOfWeek Sunday is 0, Monday is 1 and so on)


Full code is something like that:
-----------------


Private Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)
Private Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer
wHour As Integer
wMinute As Integer
wSecond As Integer
wMilliseconds As Integer
End Type

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim SysTime As SYSTEMTIME

'Get the system time
GetSystemTime SysTime

if SysTime.wDayOfWeek=1 then showmessage "Calibration is due"

End Sub
 
Perfect

Unfortunately I cannot give you more reps, but you most certainly have my thanks ! :)

Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
