[AccessD] Trigger code every day

Bill:

Never used Windows Scheduler before but it looked pretty simple so I set 
up a task and pointed to the mdb and set the time for two minutes later 
than the current clock.

But it didn't run because I didn't specify a user account password.  But 
there is no password for this machine.  Just the default account 
'HAL9004\Rocky' but I don't have a password.  Do I need to set a 
password in order to use the scheduler?

Thanks and regards,

Rocky
