>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?

Just to add to what David told you, consider this: How much load does it take for Windows to know when to start your screen saver? Not enough to notice.

AFAIK, Windows uses idle processor time to check this and when to run a service.
