Re: Stupid date/time question

   Right. But what I was trying to test was to have the app constantly checking
   for that. I have it set under a button at the moment, but what I want is to
   have it beep if the current time is greater than a time set in an editfield.

This is easy.

- compute the time in the edit field
- get the current time (new Date)
- compute the difference
- set a timer to go off after that many seconds

That's it: no need to poll or fire the timer more than once.
