Hi,

Am i missing something here? Under 2000/XP I could schedule tasks to run only on a weekday - great for automatic reports etc.

I cant find anywhere in the Vista Task Scheduler that allows me to run a job only on a weekday.

I could set 5 weekly jobs (one for Mon, one for Tue etc), or I could have a couple of empty reports (on Saturday and Sunday) print off and email out, but it would be much more straight-forward to just have the option to schedule a job for each weekday wouldn't it?

Any ideas?
 

Under Trigger check the Weekly option, that will bring up the days of the week. What happens if you select them all but leave Sat and Sun empty?

With the above setting doesn't the job run on every day except for the unselected days?
 
hi linney,

you're absolutely right. I came across those options yesterday afternoon, and all's well in my Vista-life now!

Thanks.
john
