Windows Task Scheduler

bwoods

I wish to write some code in VB to schedule tasks using the Windows 2000 Scheduler.

Can Anybody point me in the write direction to any documentation etc that may help me with this task.

I will be working in a clustered environment using Request Based load balancing. What type of an affect will this have say if I have to change the date of a task due to some other date changing in my App.

Thanks for the help in advance

Yip, just checked my W2K laptop here - AT is there in all it's glory.

The Task SCheduler, which AFAIK is actually seperate to the AT command, is externally programmable.

However, a quick web-search only revealed one useful hit for me : here

Unfortunately, this is a piece of payware, but at least you get to test it out first.

If you're developing for a company who will spring for the £80 stg, this may be the easiest solution for you.

Some more determined google-searching may turn up some freeware or sample code for the same task.

The other option is to find out the API or COM interfaces supported by the scheduler and go from there.
