>Hello All,
>my clients would like their data ( not exclusively VFP )copied to a snapshot/reporting directory at a specifed time ( e.g. please run at 22:00 hrs ). Would it be a reasonable solution to let them specify a time ( via a spinner or WHY ) on a form, calculate the difference between the current time and the specifed time, and set a timer interval to that value?. This process would be kicked off manually by the I.T. dept every night so it doesn't have to be totally foolproof ( I hear you all cringing ). At the moment they have an old Dos app called wait-for.exe which literally waits at the command prompt until a specified time, I don't know what it was written in, where the source code is etc,etc...
