    <h2>Convert to Date data type</h2> <p>The issue seems to be that the <code>remind</code> variable is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9e7a57cf%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">String</a> data type, and the <code>check</code> variable is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9e7a57cf%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Date</a> data type. When you try to compare them, they'll always fail to be equal, even if the actual date inside both types is the same.</p> <p>You can solve the problem by using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2dt118h2%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">CDate</a> function to convert <code>remind</code> to a Date before entering the loop. </p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>remind = CDate(remind) </code></pre> <h2>Validation</h2> <p>Because you're now using CDate to convert the user's input, if they make a typo and enter an invalid date, its going to bring up an error box and end the program. You may want to use <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/48y0723t%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">IsDate</a> to ensure it is a valid time before converting it, then gracefully ask the user to enter the time again if they made a typo.</p> <h2>CPU Usage</h2> <p>Your loop will sit there taking up 100% CPU usage of one core of the machine its running on. This can slow down your user's computer, among other side effects.</p> <p>To fix this issue, you want to slow down the loop, such that its only checking a few times a second, rather than a few hundred times a second. Insert this statement inside the loop to have it sleep for 500 milliseconds before trying again.</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>WScript.Sleep 500 </code></pre>

    3. COI'm using wscript.exe. It's the (do until check=remind) part that doesn't works. If i put it like (do until check="12:30:00 PM") then it will works. Any comments about it?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
