It's the same Task Scheduler.
Basically, the Operating System has an application that handles scheduled tasks.
Windows has an application that serves as an INTERFACE to the task handler.
There is a CMD interface called schtasks that also serves as an interface to
the same task handler.
If you use a .bat file and schtasks as described below,it will make an entry
that you can view and modify in the Windows Task Scheduler.
So, you can use VBA to create and run a .bat file that can make or change
entries to the Task Scheduler.

Are you saying that you want VBA to schedule a task?
In the past, I created a userform in Excel to create a Scheduled Task.(Our
Windows Profile had the task Scheduler locked out)
The VBA macro made use of the "command line" for creating scheduled
tasks:schtasks /create /tn <TaskName>
/tr <TaskRun>
/sc weekly [/mo {1 - 52}]
[/d {<MON - SUN>[,MON - SUN...] | *}]
[/st <HH:MM>]
[/sd <StartDate>]
[/ed <EndDate>]
[/it]
[/ru {[<Domain>\]<User>
[/rp <Password>] | System}]
[/s <Computer>
[/u [<Domain>\]<User>
[/p <Password>]]]
for instance, I have a vbscript that runs hourly to check for files in a
specific folder to move to a "released" folder.
schtasks /delete /tn "Release ADTL" /f
schtasks /create /tn "Release ADTL" /tr
"C:\WINNT\system32\wscript.exe c:\temp\Release-ADTL.vbs ALL" /sc
hourly /st 8:00:00
In my VBA, I create the schtasks command line and write it to a .bat file (I
called it C:\temp\create_task.bat)
Then, I used:stat = Shell("C:\temp\create_task.bat") to execute the .bat file.
I think to stop your program at a specific time you could use:
schtasks /end <TaskName>
I'm sure you can google some examples.
