automate dump with script

[wysiwygger]

Hi,

I've written a script that runs a dump automatically using SendKeys. It's working all fine while I'm logged on but it seems like Sendkeys doesn't work while you are logged out...

Is there any other way running the dump automatically?
Seems like dbdump32.exe doesn't support any parameters to run with.

Record a macro that uses the internal Dbdump, you'll see what you need.

Hi,

this doesn't fix the problem because a macro records only the stuff after you logged in.
I need to open the Dump application and login from outside.

Yeah, sure, whatever...

In the and, you're wasting your time, and my time, too. Automated Dbdumps are a poor man's way of doing a real backup.
