Yes.
I have done that in both VFP and C#, works fine.
If your data is in DBFs, VFP is the obvious choice.
There is a way to force a VFP exe to behave like a console app (command line, looks like Dos)
Nobody is going to see that exe run, so logging is your friend.
My experience is that using a form can make the app hang, so I just make Console apps for use in scheduler.
If you like, I can extract some code from my project and send to you.
