I did need to restart the server to get the scheduled task to work.

I will put some simlpy VB script together to test ODBC but I do not think screen output is a problem.


Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply and testing.

I'm running this on Server 2008 R2, but I also tested it on 2008 as well. I have not, however, tried to restart the server to get it all to work. I will do so and report back.

thanks
Lucas
