Hi.

I am looking for a site or some coding ideas to run specific subs or
programs at certain times and/or dates.
For example, I would like to automate pulling data via ADO(.NET) at 6 am,
on the 21st of every month.

The only thing that I could think of was to set a timer control to fire
every few seconds to check date and time. I was hoping there was a better
way to do this without using the Task Scheduler or a product such as
Automate 5.

I have googled for hours without much luck.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.

What's wrong with using the Task Scheduler? If you want to do it
programatically, I do have some code I could send you... It's a library
that I wrote in C#, but your welcome to use it if you would like :)

What's wrong with the task scheduler? You won't let an application sleep just to pull some data once every month, when there is
already a scheduler service running just for that.
