The timer only asks for one DateTime variable
However in Forms there is no DateTime variable, there is only an exclusive Date and Time
Seems like everything will always kick off at midnight no matter what you do.
At least in 10.2 - you can enable time as part of a date variable. If this isn't enabled, I think you are right that it just does midnight.
Yep, that was added with 10.2

Well, this link is actually about Workflow, but you get the idea...
Oh I could just use 2 timer events in succession, one that uses a date and one that waits a number of hours from midnight.
That's correct. Use date and add a time if you'd like to include that.
Oh, I see this, but it opens up a bit of a can of worms. Was planning to set a default time, since I am only using the time to determine when the task should kick off. I found that if I set a default time, it forces a default date, it does work though. Can I just say TODAY 09:00:00 AM instead of a specific date or something?
Honestly, the couple times I needed to get that granular, I did it in Workflow.
Called the Workflow from the form process and told the the form process to wait for the workflow to complete.
Then used the more powerful activities in Workflow like the date calculator and delay.
Can stack things together like one activity that waits for a day and one that ways for the time of day. Something that like, that just did some delays and then ended would also be really reusable to plug in to Forms.
