Timothy,

I'm not sure, it's deep in the bowels of the O/S. I think once a minute it goes out and sees if there is a task that is scheduled for that minute and runs it. At any rate I don't think you'll notice the task checking load at all.

>That works like a charm and I've instituted it. Only question, how often does it check to see if the time is 9:05 pm( time to run reports)? does it not put a load on the processor when it constantly checks?
