scheduling vbscript using the task scheduler

[nelson]

can you schedule a vbscript using the task scheduler? if
yes what is the syntax? i tried just entering the name
of the script in the "run" field and it didnt work.

thanks,
nelson

wscript something.vbs

should work

hello david,

tried that too. i created a very simple script with just
one line, msgbox "hello". when i use the task scheduler
it runs the task but no msgbox is displayed. after
waiting 5 minutes the status still says that it is
running but nothing is happening and i have to end task
it.

thanks,
nelson

If you want to see the dialog (and it's still running because you didn't and can't click ok) then use the user/password of the current logged on user.
