If you run the task yourself without using Task Scheduler, does it run successfully?

Yes it does. It's just when running it through task scheduler. And it gets through all the processing scripts, it dies on the last step which is when launching the database.<br />
<br />
Then it ends up giving me an error when i try to open any Access dbs:<br />
<br />
&quot;Couldn't use 'C:\WINNT\System32\system.<wbr />mdw'; file already in use.&quot;

Well, it wouldn't run under website user but would under admin, I'll have to look into that later but at least for now it works.

On Windows NT I had a scheduled task that would perform some actions and then open up an MS Access database.<br />
<br />
The database has an autoexec macro that imports text files into the tables, saves, and then closes the database.<br />
<br />
So for the last year and a half, it has run just fine on NT 4 but we've since upgraded to Windows 2000 Advanced Server.<br />
<br />
Now, when I open the database normally it works just fine but for some reason, the scheduled task just doesn't want to get past the database stuff.<br />
<br />
I have tried opening permisions right up but perhaps I am missing something somewhere?

Scheduled Task not running properly...

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
