>Thank for your advise. However, I found out from www.NTfaq.com that upon logout, the AT will run any program that we specify using it local account and any mapping that I had will not be there too. Therefore, my application will had problem as I need the mapped drive to get the data for importing into my SQL server. Please advise me on this issues. Thank you

You could run the AT command from your server instead of the workstation. If you are using SQL Server, why not use the built-in job scheduler? I don't know which version of SQL you're using, but if it's 7.0, look at using the Data Transformation Service for moving your data. It is a very powerful utility. If you're using 6.5, the Task Scheduler works well but is more difficult to learn. Regardless of which method you use, permissions between the scheduler and the scheduled applications still have to be established and maintained.
