You didn't answer my question, what you want to do with it?
BTW, Windows task Scheduler does have COM interface but it cannot be used from VFP.
Thre's very limited support for it through WMI http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_scheduledjob.asp?frame=true
There's no built-in COM object that gives full acces to the Task Scheduler from VFP.
Thre's used to be a free ActiveX control but I lost track of it.
