Bill, Thanks for the help. I tried the steps that you posted, but still no luck. In order to debug this issue, I have set up a very small Access application that simply writes one record to a log file when it is initiated. I then used the Windows Server 2012 Task Scheduler to establish a new Scheduled Task which initiates MSACCESS.EXE directly with the name of the little accdr file as a parameter. Running this task from the Task Scheduler works properly when it is set to "Run Only When User is Logged On". I can see that it is working by looking at the log file. However, when I change the setting to "Run Whether User is Logged on or Not", things do not work. No record is written to the log file. When I look at the Task Manager I see "Microsoft Access (32 bit)" in the process list. I have looked at the logs via the Event Viewer but have not found anything. My experience with the Event Viewer is quite limited, so maybe I am not looking in the right place. Any help would be appreciated.
