Dave,

Sorry, but are you really even reading these messages? Currently the task
scheduler won't even correctly run a job that launches notepad.exe!

The details of the real job which was written in Visual FoxPro are pretty
irrelevant. If it was our 5 year old exe that was all of the sudden
misbehaving it wouldn't run from double clicking the exe in Windows
Explorer... which is exactly what I've had to do the last three Saturdays
because Microsoft has broken something in mstask.exe.
