open form At specific time

I have a question
How to form opens at a specific hour by hour timing computer and after 5 minutes and shuts itself down

What I do for things like this is dedicate an entire Access DB file to the task at hand. Have the form you want to open as the Startup form for the DB. After you have everything working with your new DB, you will want it to open at a specific time. For this, you can use windows task scheduler.

To avoid complicated and or unnecessary security settings, I create a VB Script file to open the Access DB file. Double clicking the .VBS file will launch and open the access file. After you create and test your VBS file, you can have Windows Task scheduler launch the VBS file. You will want to adjust the settings of your new task in Task Scheduler to quit after a specific amount of time. Use advanced settings in Task Scheduler.

Here is some sample syntax to create a .VBS file. Use Notepad and then change the extension of your text file to .VBS
