Hello list, I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on a problem that I am having when trying to run a mapbasic script through Microsoft Scheduled Tasks on Windows NT 4.0.
The problem is that I am unable to run my mapbasic script in it's entirety through scheduled tasks. The script itself is fairly simple, essentially it does 4 things: * It opens a set of tables * It appends then saves the tables * The graphical style of the contents of the appended tables is changed * It then shells out to a Visual basic routine which copies the tables to an archive folder There is nothing wrong with the mapbasic script script itself, it works fine when run normally. When run through scheduled tasks it never completes. No error messages are generated and MapInfo does not crash. I therefore do not know where the problem occurs. I have played about by simplifying my mapbasic routine and can get other scripts to run. The strange thing is that if I remove the part of the script that changes the graphical style of my new appended tables then the script runs fine through task scheduler. The tables are appended and it shells out to the visual basic routine without problem. The problem definitely seems to be with the part of the code that changes the table style. As I say this all runs fine when the script is run from Mapbasic so I really don't understand what is happening here If anyone has any ideas or solutions I'd be grateful as I'm really stuck here.
