Okay. I found code posted here to create a batch file that ran a macro from a database. I set the macro to run a function located in my database module, and everything appeared to be working great. I tested it through the Task Manager at a specific time, and it worked great.
But then I tested it while I was logged out of Windows NT (computer was still on though). When I went back in, it showed that the task was still running. Task Manager showed that Access and the batch file were still open.
My function opens up a telnet session that is tied to our phones. It then sets my computer's time to be the same as the phone time. Then it moves certain extensions once it becomes a certain time. It closes the telnet session, closes access, and then the batch file automatically closes.
I'm confused because as I said it works when I'm logged into the computer. Does task manager only have limited access to my system resources when I'm logged out? Is there any workaround that anyone could suggest? It would be a security hazard for me to stay constantly logged into my computer.
