This is more properly an XP os question,
but heregoes:

I've got an adp that, upon clicking it or
typing it's name in command shell, will open,
print some reports to pdf, and quit.
This much works on both my development computer
and the server it will run on.
When I create a scheduled task on my computer,
it also works. However when i try to do the same
on the server, it fails.
As near as I can tell, the server runs its
scheduled tasks in a service context, whereas
my computer runs them in an application context.
And access apparently isn't happy with being
a service, it will load into memory and stay there
taking no CPU time.
So if anyone knows where windows's setting to
have scheduled tasks open in application rather
than service mode, let me know please.
