Yes, my plan is to use Task Scheduler to call my VFP EXE.  I've got a few scheduled tasks running Fox apps.  Works great! On 3/9/2021 10:06 AM, Frank Cazabon wrote: I would consider creating a Windows service to do that, or maybe a scheduled job in Task Scheduler. I'd probably use C# :0) Fra

Thanks for the info, Ajit! Looks like I'll use XFRX to generate the PDFs.  Since I already owned QuickPDF, I was hoping to use it for creation without recreating the wheel. On 3/9/2021 9:37 AM, Ajit Abraham wrote: Hello Mike, On 09/03/2021 17:13, MB Software Solutions, LLC wrote: If this

I don't think speed is a big deal for this task...having it complete the PDF in 5 seconds is not going to be a deal killer. Imagine the clock striking X o'clock firing off the PDF reports that are supposed to be generated at that hour.  Not a big deal if they complete at X:01, or even X:04 for
