I would like a production data form to print out at 9.00 am every day.
from my server computer, there is a "menu form" on display. I want to
program this form to press the production data form button and then
press the print button on the production form to give me a print out
at 9.00 am.
N.B. Pressing the print button on the production form prints the form
directly ( windows print message box does not appear)and the form
closes.

I thought of adding a time field to the " menu form" then use setTimer
to trigger something like
if time = 9.00 am then
push button ( to select the production form)
push button ( to select to print form)
kill timer
endif

Would this simple idea work ?
Could you help with Where and how to Write code.
THANK YOU

It would be better to use a script to control what you want to do, then use a
program external to paradox to run your script - you could use the maintenance
wizard, for example to start paradox, run script and then exit. This avoids the
problems.
