Schedule a task

[cparralesl]

Hi there guys,

I need your help with this.

I need to run a process that Zip a file from a network drive (M:\) to another network drive (N:\).

This process have to be run at specific time, 12:00am for example.

Can somebody tell me how to built a script file that help me with this?

Thank's inadvance.

I have found the best way to do this is to Shell out an "at" command. The COM interface for this procedure is limited unless you download a more robust dll for scheduling tasks.

Example:

dim WshShell
set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot
WshShell.run "at \\computername 12:00 c:\winnt\notepad.exe"

This will launch a dos window and run the command. The COM object will allow you to do the same thing (without the dos window), but you have to do more coding.
