A "tickler" table.  Something like 

fldFirstDate as DATE, fldFrequency as Long, fldReminder as MEMO

On startup, popup a continuous form with a recordsource of:

"Select * from tTickler where fldFirstDate <= Date() and (Date() - 
fldFirstDate) MOD fldFrequency = 0"

Then your messages will popup when you start your application on 
FldFirstday and every fldFrequency days afterwards until you delete 
the record.
