Macros and task scheduler

[lilja]

Hello,
Can anyone please help me with this.
I have a bat file that runs 15 mcx files. I have set this bat file as a scheduled task in Microsoft Task Scheduler because I need these macros to run regardless of wether anyone is logged into the server.
The problem is that when the task is run the macro just hangs and seems to be waiting for a user response but if I run the bat file from a cmd line everything works great.
Has anyone run into this problem or is it just the machine?
thanks in advance,
lilja

lilja,

see thread401-313348. There is an on-going discussion of the best way to do this with no one logged in.
