Hi Dmitry.

>A custom asked me to create a program that would automatically (without any manual input) email a report to a number of people in their organization, on a certain (user-defined) frequency. VFP 9 is the only way I can create such an application. And as far as automatically running it, I am thinking of Windows Task Scheduler. Although, since this program will be running on the company server (I think it is Server 2008 but could be 2012, not sure), I am concerned of "causing" any "inadvertent damage" to the server. Has anybody used this approach of running a VFP application in the Windows Task on a Server? Any potential issues or things that I need to be aware of?

I've been doing this for at least 15 years. It works just fine.

Doug
