script to Create a Scheduled Task

[Bemintrth]

I need to create a method to create a scheduled task after receiving input from a dialog. I'll have the main macro create a 'temp macro' but i need to schedule that with info from the main dialog. is there a way to do that?

thanks a lot.

There is currently no way to create a scheduled task in Macro Scheduler without first closing Macro Scheduler and directly manipulating it's dat file. But there are a number of things you could do such as:

1. You could have your macro create a scheduled task in Windows task scheduler to run the macro via the command line.

2. You could create 'controller' macro which runs continuously with a loop, or on a tight schedule, which monitors a database or INI file for example. The db/ini file would contain details of all your scheduled macros, such as the time it should fire etc. When the time/conditions match it would launch that macro via either the Macro> or command line via Run. Your dialog macro would put an entry into this INI file.
