Hi all,

I have a problem with the task scheduler. I have a stockpicking program
(stockbrowser) that i want to run every hour from 8:00 till 18:00 on
weekdays... So I defined a task as listed below, but the darn thing won't
stop at 18:00. It keeps on running every hour weekdays, weekend, night and
day. Now I know that Vista has good stamina, but I hate it when I am playing
a game and it is starting to run in the background :)

Could somebody please tell me what i am doing wrong? You would be forever in
my mind... well at least a day or so :)

Thanks!!!

Re: task scheduler

Unless someone else comes up with a solution you could make a separate task
for each hour.

Re: task scheduler

I don''t think that will do the trick, because it is not stopping at night
either....

The darn thing just won''t stop :)
