Renauld,

I'd recommend an alternate solution. Use a queue of future events where you simply store the datetime of when something is supposed to happen. Then your query code can simply check to see if there are any rows with a value less than the current datetime they need to be processed.

>somebody clear my mind. I'm doing an application with timed event. This is pre-configure and saved in a *.mem file.

>The code for the timer scenario will be at everyday at this hour with an allowance time for checking like 10 minutes after the default time.

> ELSE
> .. do nothing
> ENDIF
