How do I program my program in VB6.0 to pop up a certain message on a specific date for every year?

Thanks!

Can you post or tell us about anything that you have already tried? That way, we are helping you with your problems rather than doing it for you.

I've tried this...

    If Date = [date] Then
        rtn = MsgBox("[message]", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly)
    Else
        rtn = MsgBox("[message]", vbExclaimation + vbOKOnly)
    End If
[code]

What is [date]?

You might want to make use of the Month and Day function. These two functions when you give it a Date, it will return the month and the day respectively.

So something like:

If Month(Date) = 12 AND Day(Date) = 12 Then
  MsgBox "Its the 12th of December"
End If

Will work and pop up the message when its the 12th of Decemeber.

Oh...Thanks sunny!
I didn't know there is a month and day function...only a beginner.
