please don't freak out because of the language, the sample code is what's important. basically, you configure the Windows Task Scheduler to run a script (JS) periodically. the script contains code to update the server via ODBC. why ODBC, I hear you ask. because the target table has a trigger, which runs the regular task (backup, in this example). the added bonus is that the table doubles as a log file for the scheduled event. You'd need a spare client license, or an unlimited SQL client license, but it's much easier to setup if you don't have an HTTP server license or other connectivity options. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
