Jump1ng, Cheers mate, I realised I hadn't input the administrator password at the set user to run job screen. Once I did this it was all gravy, but I wouldn't have clocked it without reading that faq. The part about testing task scheduler with a calc opener was what led me to the solution...

Any help on this matter is gratefully appreciated... Im having a few different problems with a server tape drive. The drive is cleaned regularly and the media set is a pack of new tapes. Three different backup jobs run per day, the first is Overwrite, the following two append to data. The final...

JTB... steps 1-4 Ive checked already, and the xp machine has wireless networking enabled - but do I have to enable wireless on the 98 machine? thanks,

Thanks, will try that as soon as I get the chance tonight! James
