Run MDB as Scheduled Task Problems

[Scott Duncan]

Hello,

We have developed a number of applications (Access 2003 & WinXP Pro) that
run fine without problems.

When we set-up a Windows Scheduled Task to run the application at a specific
time we get the error code "This Action will reset the Current Code in Break
Mode". The Application typically will freeze up and we have to use Task
Manager to force it down.

We can then immediately launch the application normally and it will run
fine.

This is happening with two (2) different applications that are not similar
which leads us to believe that it does have something to do with Scheduled
Task.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

SD

Hello Scott.

What user context is the scheduled task run in?
Does that account (maybe the LocalSystem account) have access to all files
needed (back-end database files)?

Wolfgang,

This is run from an account that has Administrative privileges. I am going
back thru how the Scheduled Task is set up... We originally just went to the
'Customer Service.mdb'. Now we are testing with "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\MSAccess.exe" "C:\My Documents\Customer Service.mdb" /excl
as if it was a command line launch.

Thank you,
