Several - first, build a simple project out of that prg, and build an exe out of it. I already have one like that, and it runs invisibly in the scheduler, every three hours.

If you don't want to do that, create a special config.fpw in the directory where your .fxp resides, with

command=do my.fxp

in it (plus other settings you may want), and have

"c:\...full path to home()...\vfp9.exe" -T -C"X:\pathToYourFxp\config.fpw"

in the Run textbox of the scheduler. Also set the target directory ("Start in") to fxp's directory.
