Re: running scripts on a schedule

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your response but unfortunately, that's exactly 
where I'm seeing the problem: inside Windows Task Scheduler...

You see, the first error I get is when Windows Task Scheduler 
doesn't see the AutoIT folder (it only sees 'AutoIT Window Info'). I 
know the 'AutoIT3' folder is there, because I can run my script fine 
at bootup - I can also find it no problem using browse - it's only 
inside WTS that I run into problems. So I go ahead and use the 
browse feature of WTS & find the script I want to run. The next 
error I get is where WTS tells me I must have a User Name & 
Password. Well, I don't have a UN & PW setup on this machine - could 
this be causing the trouble? Must I setup a UN & PW in order to use 
WTS? I've tried to simply assign a UN & PW in WTS, but that doesn't 
seem to do the trick either. I then proceed to the point where WTS 
says: "You have sucessfully scheduled the following task: Mbus". I 
then click next and get this error: "The new task has been created, 
but may not run because the account information could not be set. 
The specific error is: 0x800700005 access is denied. Try using the 
Task page Browse button to locate the application". When I proceed 
to ignore this error the script never runs. So it seems to me that 
WTS is not seeing the AutoIT script that I KNOW is there because it 
runs fine from Windows Startup! Any clue what's going on? 

Once again, many thanks for whatever anyone can do!! 

Kind regards,
Jim B. in PA

script? I looked at the task manager, but it didn't se anything 
about scheduling. Is there any way to make a script run by using 
autoit code itself, not by using task manager? Maybe set up a timer 
or something?
