    Scheduled Tasks result code meanings

    Could someone please point me to a location where I can learn more about
    result codes from scheduled tasks. For example: Last Result 0x4 - I have
    tried Google and the MS KB but didn't find the answer. Thank you

    This article may help. Also Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide
    some details.

    Have you found any answers to this code of 0x4. I am also experiencing
    the same thing.

    I suspect this error occurs when the program was successfully started
    (i.e. you have the correct permissions) but it could not complete,
    perhaps because of a locked file. Are you outputting to a log file? Is
    the log file locked? You can check by trying to change its name. If you
    find it is locked, you will have to discover what process is using it
    and kill that process. Usually, it'll be locked because a previous run
    of your scheduled task got interrupted and it didn't unlock the file
    before it finished.

    Another possibility is that your program ran out of memory. Ouch.
    You'll need to re-write it.....

    Re: Scheduled Tasks result code meanings

    It depends on the task that runs. I tried to test some error handeling in a scheduled task and to produce an error I xcopied a file that doesn't exist. It produces exactly the error that you get. 0x4. Hope this helps.
