CeRunAppAtTime doesn't wake up device

[MDB]

I have an application where I call CeRunAppAtTime everyday at 5:00 AM. My
problem is that this works on some of my devices intermittently. For some
reason, I have to tap the screen in order for the application to actually
execute the application I called in the CeRunAppAtTime. It seems that the
device is in suspense and the CeRunAppAtTime is not waking it up.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Have you tried CeSetUserNotification instead (as CeRunAppAtTime is
deprecated)?

Hi again, I tried using this with the below code however, it took user
interaction in order for the exe to be executed. Is there something I am
missing to make this automatically launch the exe at a specific time?

string path;
path =
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase
);

DateTime dtNextRunTime;
dtNextRunTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);

OpenNETCF.Win32.Notify.UserNotification notify = new
OpenNETCF.Win32.Notify.UserNotification();
notify.Action = OpenNETCF.Win32.Notify.NotificationAction.Led;
OpenNETCF.Win32.Notify.Notify.SetUserNotification(path +
@"\FTPTask.exe",dtNextRunTime,notify);
