VFP job scheduler?

[mpastore]

Hi,

Hope this is the appropriate forum for this question. We are looking at switching our daily job scheduler to another product. We use a lot of VFP and would like a product that uses .dbf file structures to manage job queues. We are currently using a btrieve-based product.

The product should be able to run Win16, Win32 .exes as well as DOS batch. Needs to be able to have fixed and relative scheduling capabilities, as well as job dependencies and easy reporting.

Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you looked at the Windows Task Scheduler?

Mike,
I may be wrong, but Dan may have been suggesting WTS to fire up your VFP app that then does the "heavy lifting". I use it to fire off a number of my VFP .EXEs.

It looks like that is where we may head...but job scheduling can really get pretty intense, we have over 200 jobs that run at different intervals and have multiple dependencies.
