Good afternoon,
Going nuts down here, have a simple executable generated from a single program. Runs fine by itself. Grabs s few records then sends out an email via Outlook automation. Which, btw, does Outlook have to be open to run, or not? In any event if I run it in the task schedule it shows that it is running, but it never stops or returns to the ready status????
Regards, Desmond

Do you have an error handler? It should not present a UI, that causes an error and could hang the executable. You might want to exit with the ExitProcess api when there is an error.
DECLARE ExitProcess IN WIN32API Integer ExitCode
I usually use a negative number when something didn't work right. ExitProcess(-1)
HTH, Tracy

If you're using drive letter mappings, those mappings do not exist for the Task Scheduler. Won't find any data.
You can do the mappings in a batch file,

You can do the mappings in a batch file,
Or you could use UNC drive pathing.
Also, there's an option to set the user context in which to run the job, if you need permissions to access resources.
You should have a config file included in the EXE where you set OFF talk, resource, help, etc. so you don't get console or locate dialogs on startup.
And you need logs, of course. Good possibility there's a USE or file function that's popping up a dialog.
If it's a modal dialog, then you can use SYS(2335) Unattended Server Mode and trap it.

Thanks everyone! If I run the executable it dos popup a window, it's empty and quickly goes away..... So I can add a config.fpw file to the project to set screen off etc.?

No, the automation will fire it up if it's not running.
In any event if I run it in the task schedule it shows that it is running, but it never stops or returns to the ready status????
And does the comprehensive logging to text file that you've put into your EXE indicate how far it's getting? ;)
Desmond, Beware if using different versions of outlook as Createobject() and Getobject() behave in differing ways to what you would expect.
CreateObject() will attach itself to the running version of Outlook rather than starting a new instance which you would expect. In effect is is just as though you had issued a GetObject().
This can have an effect on your program flow if the user uses the instance of Outlook whilst you are controlling it in code - worst scenario is to close outlook completely of course!
Office 2003 and versions prior did not suffer from this problem and CreateObject() always used to start a new instance.

Is there a work around? Am using O365 Outlook in my testing, actual environment will be Office 2016 using a "real" exchange server?
Thank You! Regards, Desmond
