R&R xBase 8.1.023____Trying to schedule reports to run after hours for the first time but what I scheduled didn^t run. There were 2 reports to run last night at 22:00 and this morning at 2:00. Both were set to run once at the date and time. Both reports take seconds to run.____Here^s how I filled out the Scheduler:__Event name - the path and name of report on the network (g:folder name
ame of report.rrw)though R&R is on my c: drive.____Event type - Report event____Output - one to .wks file, one to "saved destination". What does saved destination mean? In both cases I had an excel file already on the network and I entered the path into the Output file field.____Run Asynchonously____The Maintenance tab showed the reports as scheduled at the date & time I set up with a "green light". This morning there they sat still with the green light and the excel files were still empty.__Also the Scheduler Status dialog box doesn^t open - when I choose it nothing happens.__What do I need to do?__Thanks.__

What operating system are you using?__The scheduler is an older utility that is no longer included in the current release of R&R.__Instead, users now use the windows task scheduler to run reports using runtime and a text control file for the report. It is reasonably simple to set this up.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Operating system is Win2000.____I^ve set up a text control file for this report and have done some testing with the task scheduler but something isn^t right, when the appointed time comes nothing happens. What do I point to for the scheduler to run?

Your command line needs to be:__"C:RRWRRWRUN.EXE" /T"c: estmyfile.txt"____where myfile.txt is the name of the text file containing the RI_REPORT=g:folder name
ame of report.rrw____Kathleen__R&R Support

Something still is not quite right because I^m still not getting a response when I try to run the task.__Here^s the control text file:__ri_report=k:multisysRRWWillCall.rrw__ri_wtitle=WillCall__ri_status=T__ri_printer=w__ri_outfile=g: empwillcall.xls____Here^s the command line in task scheduler:__K:multisysRRWRRWRUN.EXE /T"k:multisysRRWWillCall.TXT"____The report runs correctly when I run it from a shortcut where the target is the same as the command line above.

Does an RRWRUN.OUT text file get created?____Kathleen__R&R Support

There is an RRWRUN.out file in the folder but when I attempt to run this report it doesn^t change the last modifed date/time in Explorer so apparently it does not create a file.
