AT command variation?

We have an MS Access application that my supervisor would like to have scheduled to run daily (on an NT 4.0 server). This application has no user interaction via forms etc, it runs a query which produces a report that ends up on the user's printer (same one every time).

Is it possible to run an Access application via the AT command like this, or does AT want an executable as its target application? We can modify the application to create an RTF output document which can be retrieved by the user when they arrive at the office if necessary. I can't think of how we can direct the output to the user's printer (which resides on another secure subnet).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Jim (not an NT guy)
 
You could use EZ SCHEDULER which is free from American Systems to run the application. If there is no user intervention just run access with the program name as a parameter.
