I'm having trouble running an Access 2000 database using the Scheduled Tasks utility (in Windows 2000).

I'm using the wizard but nothing happens at the scheduled time.

Anybody used this with an .mdb file?

Thanks!

Bruce,
I think you'll have to use msaccess.exe with the mdb file as an argument, instead of trying to "run" an mdb file. We double-click on mdb's and shortcuts to them, so ofter that it's easy to forget that there's an application under there.
