For Saturday you can just type "S" but "Sa" in my previous comment should still work.Also you will probably need to add entire path of your app unless you put it in the Machines System directory which is probably system32.
also, ensure the scheduler service has the relevant permissions to carry out the scheduled task.
you can do this in the services applet in control panel.
by default it has local system permissions.

I have a vb app that connect to url and logon and download data to local Hard Drive. I'm using SendKeys command to logon to secure website.
My shcedule wokrs fine but if i logoff and my shedule seems doesnot work.

Thats because the /interactive switch lets the app interact with the desktop of the logged on user.If you are not logged on I don't think you will be able to use sendkeys to log onto a website.

I think you are right because shcedule works if i'm logon it only doesnot work if i'm not logon.
Is there any other method i can use to schedule my exe to run.
How about SQL job will it work and how can i make it.

I don't think the problem is with the scheduler.I think your problem is with SendKeys.I don't think there is anyway to use SendKeys while you are logged out because SendKeys sends the Data to the active window,which you will not have when logged out.

at 07:00 /interactive /next:T,W,Th,F,Sa calc.exe
Just replace calc.exe with your app. To make sure the schedule took,type "at" without any parameters
