notta Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Is there something I'm doing wrong? MsgBox(0,"","schtasks /create /sc hourly /tn Scan /mo 2 /sd " & $startDate & " /ed " & $endDate & " /tr " & $fileScanTool) $run = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C schtasks /create /sc hourly /tn Scan /mo 2 /sd " & $startDate & " /ed " & $endDate & " /tr notepad.exe", @SW_HIDE) I'm banging my head against the desk. If I type this command into a command prompt it works fine. The message box displays everything correctly, but it's not adding the task into the scheduler. Any ideas?
