Hello World

This is a follow on question to one asked a couple of days ago.

Could you tell me some differenent approaches to Scheduling VB tasks (by both intervals or not).

I no about the timer control and the API calls, i woundered if there any more methods. This includes any exturnal programs (OCX, DLL), that i could get hold off (free or not), i also heard that there was maybe a way of doing this in Win2K.

Any help, or url's are greatly apprecated.

Thanks Mark
(p.s i'll rate the replys, promise) :-)

as far as I know, the task scheduler is part of the IE 5 installation. It should be available for NT and W95.
