Perhaps you are having trouble with the fact that the return value of time() is a character expression?
Or perhaps your program stopped reacting for some reason.
I scheduled jobs for late at night with the Windows Task Scheduler. This one has a lot of options, and I think it is not worthwhile to "reinvent the wheel" by writing a VFP program.
