I posted this before and still do not have an explanation for why this happens. The new computer is exactly like the one I replaced running Windows 7. All other computers 4-5 running XP and 6-8 running 7 will run my autobackup thru task scheduler. All Rbase and compiled apps are up to date. I can run directly but not thru task scheduler. Really, really stumped Tom Hart

Basically I use Windows task manager to run the file at a certain time each night. This has worked like a charm until I tried to run it on a new machine. It works fine if you run the file directly from the folder but if it tries to run from the task manager I get numerous messages like: Rbase engine driver- \E-error-Invalid configuration file Error - unrecognized global variable in expression Error - expression cannot be evaluated Any ideas why this happens in task manager and not when run directly Tom Hart
