A lot of calendar programs run wav files as a reminder, but I want to
have a program start instead. I don't know any programming so please
make the reply fairly detailed.
Thanks

cornfused...

The functionality you want needs to be built in to the program
you're using. I can point you to a program that I use that runs
any program you like on the day(s)/time(s) you specify, but it
is not integrated with a calendar, as such.

Let me know if this would suit your needs...

If you are using XP why not just set this up in your task scheduler?

All Programs/Accesories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks

(You can move your Scheduled Tasks to your desktop for ease of use)

This will do the following:

This easy-to-use calendar has advanced features such as downloadable
skins and languages, drag-and-drop creation of reminders, and the
ability to get maps to events. The calendar functions permit you to
show a reminder, open a file, or execute a program at a specified date
and time. You can use recurring events to do something repeatedly--for
example, play an MP3 every weekday morning as an alarm clock.
Reminders can be created by clicking a date or by dragging and
dropping text or files onto a day. HalfMoon skins permit customizing
the appearance and functionality of the calendar.

If you want to use your specific program that runs .wav file. I have a
solution only and only if that program opens your default windows .wav
program such as winamp. if it opens its own sound program, it wouldn't
work. Let me know if you want my answer.
