[AccessD] Can I Read Windows Schedule Info with Access?

Hi Brad:

Your scheduler is just a wrapper around the "AT" command. To view the
current scheduled operation just go to the DOS prompt (this can all be done
within your scheduled call, shell out, and at the "CMD" prompt like "at >
c:\TheDirectoryWhereIWanttoReadThisTextFile\AtInfo.txt") then within Access
just read the file and manipulate and store the data...

Hope this is enough as I would have to do some lookup within some code for
further details.

Jim

Subject: [AccessD] Can I Read Windows Schedule Info with Access?

All,

I have set up Scheduled Tasks with the Windows Scheduler to run several
Nightly Access Reporting "Batch" jobs (I am an old "mainframer"). 

I often look at the Windows Scheduler screen to see if a specific job (task)
has run successfully.

I would like to use Access to pull this information from the folder where
this information is stored (C:WINDOWS\Tasks) .

When I view this folder, I can see the headings for the information that I
would like to obtain (Name, Schedule, Next Run Time, Last Run Time, Status,
Last Result, Creator). 

I would like to use Access to grab the detail information from these fields
in this folder.

Is this possible ?

Perhaps there is some other utility that can do this that I can call from
Access.

Thanks,

Brad
