OOps Sorry

Sub SetAlarm()
Application.OnTime 0.625, "DisplayAlarm"
End Sub

Sub DisplayAlarm()
Beep
MsgBox "Wake up. It's time for break!"
End Sub

dir you run the subroutine SetAlarm?

You ran it and nothing happened at 3 PM.

You can test with a command like
Application.OnTime now + TimeValue("00:00:15"), "DisplayAlarm"

to have it run in 15 seconds.

Maybe I didn't run the Macro. I thought I didn't need to assign it to
button or anything to make it work. I thought it just work
automatically let me know if I'm wrong
