For example, if someone is doing something (or has something on his computer) that the programmer couldn't possibly have allowed/planned for, the program might not work exactly as advertised, or it might not work at all under those specific conditions, etc. But Scheduler doesn't do just about *everything* that it's *supposed* to do, so how can that just be a "bug"? It's like Scheduler was just an rough draft add-on that isn't/wasn't ready for prime time yet. And why there are no "work-arounds" for it, either. So why even include it at all? I just don't get it. Look, I love TB!, don't get me wrong. And I will wait patiently for Rit-Labs to get Scheduler to work as advertised. But the thing I've always loved most about it is, with the lone exception of Agent, it has always been my most BOMB PROOF program, *very* stable, etc. I never had to worry about stuff not working as advertised. I can't say that anymore. -- Best regards, Jack Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Scheduler problems
Whenever I assign a sound file (.wav) to be played to alert me to a scheduled event, all I get is the Reminder window/notification. No sound whatsoever. No matter how I configure Notification Parameters (I've tried every conceivable combination). Additionally, I can't get programs (*any* program) to run when I assign the event to the Action, etc. Any ideas about why I'm only getting the Reminder window, and nothing else? I'm running vs 2.00.6 Thanks! -- Best regards, Jack mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
