Ok I have tried just about every combination and can't get certain applications to execute through VisualCron.

I have a few apps that access network drives and if I run them manually on this server they run fine but I can't get them to launch through VisualCron.

I have tried Foreground execution as well as adding the domain login account to the Run task as... and no luck as of yet. Also using windows scheduler works for these apps but I would rather us VisualCron for all my schedules.

Any help is appreciated....

Could you give us information of those applications and what settings you use?

The application is a custom written vb.net application that has some odbc database links in it that calls a database on a network drive that is called via it's unc name...

Settings 1:
Background execution
Run task as - Creditials: user@domain
Run task as - Logon type: With profile - Run with API code

I have similiar applications written in vb6 using basically the same code that work.

My application returns a error "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed." so not sure if it's an issue with VisualCron not authorized to use the database provider drivers?

Try using a System DSN instead of User DSN in your code.
