Hello, it's me again. Sorry 
There's a few things I want to ask about, but I suppose this topic will be first. I searched for my topic on these forums, but didn't find anything. If I missed a thread, please point it out. Thanks to theDBguy, I added a button on my database's main menu (on the front-end) to backup the back-end. This will make it easier for the database's primary users to do backups themselves if I'm no longer working for the company. Currently, I'm doing the backups. I even added (stole) a button that opens up the directory where the BE backups are stored, so the users can see when the last backup was made.
So my question, is there a way to have a message box pop up on the user's screen, let's say at 5:00 PM, to remind the user it's time to click that backup button? I know there's auto-backups every time you close the db or using something like Task Scheduler, but I'm worried if a backup happens when another user is in the middle of editing/saving a record on a form. I don't have the skills (and I clearly don't have skills of a dba or programmer) for something so advanced. To me, anyway. Plus, the company's IT guy isn't in-house.
Let me know if it's possible and I'll check back in on Monday since I'll be clocking out around 5/5:30 PM MDT today. In case anyone replies before I leave.
Cheers!
