scheduling

Group,
Are there any task schedulers or activeX controls that can run inside an exe
to schedule another exe to run without user action?

you mean like windows scheduled-tasks?
what do you mean "run inside" ?

If you think about launching some "task" (not an exe) w/in your program, use a
timer for it & launch it....

No... I want to install a maintenance app to run at a scheduled time each
night. I would like to automatically access the task scheduler and create
this task in code, so the user doesn't need to use the task scheduler.

you can use the timer control and design your exe to run at the system
tray... you may also add an entry in the registry so that the exe will launch
when the PC is re-started...

hope this will help...

Yes, you can do this.

If you Google for it, you should come up with plenty of examples like this
one:

Found many.... unfortunately, the taskscheduler.dll referred to in several
places, is not available except to a very few fortunate individuals.

Try on doug hennig's site www.stonefield.com as he has some VFP classes on
there in his technical papers that let you do scheduling through VFP. I
found these while looking for taskscheduler.dll which doesn't work with
Vista from what I have read anyways, and Doug Hennig's does work with Vista.

you can drop stuff into the task scheduler folder I suppose; but you'd need
passwords...
