Victor,
What I did was to create a timer based task runner, running background invisibly. When its timer fires it reads the jobs from a table and executes them. The table holds things like jobId, machineToExecuteOn, lastRanTime, nextRunTime, parameters.
Main application have an interface to create scheduling per task and it creates the entries in job table.
IOW it's completely VFP based scheduled tasks runner, coupled closely with the appication (using many shared routines to do its jobs).
