I might well be talking out of my backside or completely misunderstood, 
so sorry if that is the case.

Could you not set up a QTimer (that's QTimer, not QTime) as a single 
shot and then put in the previously calculated millisecond offset to 
which you need to count? It looks like the interval takes an int, which 
will, I assume be at least a 32 bit value. If my feeble mind has worked 
it our correctly, that would be a maximum interval of 49 days!
