Filepro task under server 2008

[George]

Check your permissions for the task.  Did you enter a password?  Scheduled
tasks won't run unless you enter the password for the user that created it.

Drive mapping is on a per-user basis. IIS probably runs in a separate user 
session w/o the mapping in place.

Either make sure the drive is mapped for IIS:

     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257174

or use UNC paths instead.

Ken,

I did use UNC for setting filePro's configuration but the tasks failed in
the IIS server.

With the tasks running on the db server, e is a local drive letter.

This is the task batch file:

set fplmhost=localhost:6556
set PATH=c:\windows\system32
set pfcmark=20
set PFDSK=\\ccpdbsvr\filepro
set PFDATA=\\ccpdbsvr\filepro
set PFPROG=\\ccpdbsvr\filepro\fp56
set PFDIR=
set PFGLOB=
set PFCONFIG=
set PFTMP=c:\FPTEMP
set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat
del fp$$*.bat>NUL
%pfprog%\fp\rreport mem_report_docs -f make_report -r "daily" -a -u
CALL c:\batch\e_delete_txt.bat

AS I said, when run manually from the db server this file works but fails
when run from the task manager.
