I want to make a program so that when its a certain time like 1:53pm a msgbox box opens up to remind you to not forget anything.

Do you mean like an alarm?

It's pretty easy...here's a simple alarm:
What you need:
2 Timers (Timer 1 needs to have a 1000 interval, and it needs to be enabled)
2 Labels
1 TextBox
1 Button

Code: Select all

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Label2.Text = TextBox1.Text
        Timer2.Start()
        MsgBox("Your alarm has started")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        If Label2.Text = TimeOfDay Then
            MessageBox.Show("YOUR ALARM MESSAGE HERE!")
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Label1.Text = TimeOfDay
    End Sub


Now, lets test the program. Label 1 should now show the current date. Label 2 should say Label 2. Then, in TextBox1, type a time that is near to the current date. Click Button 1. A message Box should pop up saying: 'Your alarm has started'. Then, Label 2's text should now show the time that you typed in textBox1. Now, wait for the time you typed in textbox1. When that time comes, a message box should popup saying whatever your message is.
Note: you could also, instead of the message box, play music when the time comes. Replace that

Code: Select all

If Label2.Text = TimeOfDay Then
MessageBox.Show("YOUR MESSAGE HERE")

with:

Code: Select all

If Label2.Text = TimeOfDay Then
My.Computer.Audio.Play("DIRECTORY OF .WAV FILE HERE")


To stop the music, do:

Code: Select all

My.Computer.Audio.Stop()

Good Luck.
