Mohammed,
    I tried what you said but it did not work, so I tried a few things and 
found 
that in the settings where I set the path and file name I had to put the 'Start 
in' path even though it says optional.  What seemed to happen is it tried to 
start in 'c:\windows\system32.  Don't know why this happens but when I put the 
start in path it works.  This is true on 2 different machines that run Windows 
7.  It works without on XP.

Hi Tom
i am using the Task Scheduler for past 2 years and have  multiple tasks being 
running
i had faced similar problem earlier
you should check in the Scheduled Tasks by right clicking  the task and choose 
properties, Properties choose Settings Tab, and choose Stop  Task if it runs 
for 
{ here specify the time for it to quit in case it soesnt  }
as if this happens all other tasks fail to  run

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

Subject: Windows task manager  question


I have an autobackup exe that I have been using for along time.   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
