<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Have any of you had much experience
with scheduling applications to run (ie. mdb files) using the AT
command?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am trying to get a job to run
overnight for a client using the following syntax:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=918301102-09052003><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>at 14:26 /interactive /Every:M,T,W,Th,F cmd /c
</FONT></SPAN>D:\Prices\Priceload.bat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>where the files Priceload.bat
contains the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>
<HR>
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#ff0000 size=2>@ECHO OFF<BR>REM Daily Price File
Load<BR>TITLE GBST PRICE LOAD</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#ff0000 size=2>M:<BR>cd \Price<BR>echo ENTER PRICE
FOLDER<BR>ntsleep 2 > nul</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><FONT color=#ff0000>Call
Price.mdb<BR></FONT>
<HR>
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I then get the message
'M:\Price\Price.mdb file not found'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Because it is real PITN to keep
mucking around with this syntax in DOS, I am also having a play with some
shareware(?) the client had called WINAT. It seems good, but when I use it at my
client site to edit the paremeters of the AT command, extra characters appear at
the end of the command, so I am not sure whether the command will work or not.
Characters are things like pipes and @symbols. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So my question for anyone using AT
is: do you have any tips to share? What is the most reliable way you have found
to schedule an mdb to run?</FONT></DIV>
