that is my point, I would use the system time to "keep track of the time" and just do a simple comparison between the system time and the selected alarm time.

I can't use Timer.Stop() because it needs to still keep track of time even
after the system time reaches the picker time. Here is my original code.
Just a note and a reminder, the current code listed below pops up a
MessageBox every second instead of only once when the system time and the
picker time is the same.
private void Timer_Tick(object Sender, EventArgs e) {
bool ShowBox=false;
if((!ShowBox) && (DateTime.Now.CompareTo(Time.Value))) {
ShowBox=true; //we shouldn't see the box again.
MessageBox.Show("It's time...");
}
}

Can't you use the Stop method of the timer to prevent the message box from
repeating? If not, please repost all relevant code.
