in reply to timer to run program function between 7 and 7 only

What's a program function? What kind of program are we talking about - is it running all the time, started on demand, ... ? Should the "program function" abort if the clock passes 7AM and it's still running? Or perhaps it should wait till 7PM? Why aren't you just checking the current time?

    No it shouldn't abort because I want it to continue again when the time slot starts the next day.

      Could you be a bit more elaborate on what it is what you want?
