I just use the Windows Scheduler - mainly to do a backup at midnight.

Since I do this on the development machine, I just run the PRG - no EXE is required. An EXE is required if you want to run it on another machine where you don't have VFP installed.

While you can run your own scheduler application, with a Timer object, that would be one more program running - perhaps the Windows Scheduler is already running anyway, and even if it is not, it is probably more light-weight than anything you can create yourself. Also, its scheduling is extremely flexible - it would be very tricky just to emulate it in VFP, let alone improve it.
