Quite feasable, with a little translation (sorry no time tonite for VB translation).

>>Here is an example of how to run a task in the task scheduler now, rather than waiting for it to hit the scheduled time:
>>

ssfCONTROLS = 3  && Control Panel's Schedule Tasks folder
>>sJobName = 'fta'  && Name of the task to run
>>sRunVerb = 'R&un'  && Executing command
>>sEndVerb = '&End Task'  && Cancelling command
>>shellApp = Createobject('shell.application')
>>oControlPanel = shellApp.Namespace(ssfCONTROLS) && Schedule Tasks folder
>>oST = '
>>For Each folderitem In oControlPanel.items  && Loop though the items in the Control Panel items
>>    If folderitem.Name  = 'Scheduled Tasks'
>>        oST = folderitem.getfolder() && Found it
>>        Exit
>>    Endif
>>Next
>>If Vartype(oST) != 'O'
>>    Messagebox('Couldn't find 'TS' folder')
>>Endif
>>oJob = '
>>For Each folderitem In oST.items  && Loop through the different scheduled tasks until we fiind it.
>>    If   Lower(folderitem.Name)  = Lower(sJobName)
>>        oJob = folderitem  && Found it
>>        Exit
>>    Endif
>>Next
>>If Vartype(oJob) !='O'
>>    Messagebox( 'Couldn't find ' + sJobName + ' item')
>>Else
>>    bEnabled = .T.
>>    oRunVerb = '
>>    oEndVerb = '
>>    s = 'Verbs: ' + Chr(13)
>>    For Each Verb In oJob.verbs  && Loop through the different commands in the scheduled task until we find right one.
>>        s = s + Chr(13) + Verb.Name
>>        If Verb.Name = sRunVerb
>>            oRunVerb = Verb
>>            bEnabled = .F.
>>        Endif
>>        If Verb.Name = sEndVerb
>>            oEndVerb = Verb
>>        Endif
>>    Next
>>    If bEnabled
>>        oJob.InvokeVerb(oEndVerb)  && Cancel the task
>>    Else
>>        Wait Window Nowait 'executing job'
>>        oJob.InvokeVerb(sRunVerb)  && Run the task!
>>    Endif
>>Endif
