Gr8 as long as the work gets done usually we always give the Path of the file that we need to run on the Scheduler and give a time limit in case there was a problem so after the time limit the scheduler is not continously trying to do the operation Mohammed Sattar Utah Group of Companies

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.

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.

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
