Hi all.I'm new on this group, so I don't know if I had to post this questionhere.Maybe someone could help me with this issue.I have this .jar application that connects and sincronices two Sybasedatabases. It runs fine, but I have to be logged on the server(Windows 2K3 SP1) to be able to run the aplication. I had tried to rusit as a Scheduled task, but it doen't work, because I can't run theJVM.I believe that I don't have to tell you that I've no F***ing ideaabout programing on JAVA language.please help,best regards.

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

You can getsoftware that can wrap a Java app in a Windows service EXE, butit will be more complex than just using the scheduler.Arne

Seems like I learnt that wrong some years ago...Thanks for clarifying.
