[AccessD] Trigger code every day

I don't know about the no password, it seems that if it is empty and works 
for other things it should work but ....
You can test it by right clicking and then run so you don't have to mess 
with the time thing. You might try right clicking on it, going to properties 
and entering System in the run as and try that. I did that on a test running 
a test batch file, and the name was changed to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM  and see 
if that works.

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
