    Help with timer events

    I'm creating a check off sheet.
    Beginning of the day, press the button and msgbox pops up reminding to check.
    Instead of using Now + (00.00***) or something like that, any other code that will make it pop up in another 5, 10, or 15mins?
    This mean, excel will be running in the background. Is this possible?

    Any reason you can't use the
    Application.OnTime Now+TimeValue("00:05:00"), "MyTimerRoutine"

    If I helped with your issue, I'd appreciate a rep bump (hit the '*' icon to the bottom left of this post).

    I can, I want to go by time/clock not minutes/hours from NOW.
    I think I got it now using just
    Application.OnTime "16:00:00", "namehere" without the NOW+
    Thank you

    Yes, if you want a specific time, then you do not need the Now+. I may be wrong, but I don't think you can pass just the string, at least, I traditionally use TimeValue. So for 4pm:
    Application.OnTime TimeValue("16:00:00"), "namehere"
