Default exe

does anyone have an exe. file which runs in the back ground. I am trying to create on which will run at a certain time (6:00am).

1) Copy files from one common drive to my computer
2) run macros ( two)
3) Print results from Print button on excel sheet

can anyone help me.

My computer is left running all night, this will cut down on copy paste and manually running macros.

Thank you

Open the Control Panel, and select "Scheduled Tasks". Click on the "Add Scheduled Task" icon, follow the wizard and select your program, the time you want it to start and the interval (once per day, per week etc)
Scheduled Tasks run even if no one is logged on.
