Thanks for all the help so far, but the GUI version still flashes on the screen, taking focus etc, is there a command line switch to make it start as a system tray and not do this?

Hi Liz,  
  
We’ll add it to the to-do list to implement.  
  
In the meantime, you can work around the problem by creating a shortcut which runs the project, set the shortcut to start minimized, and then pointing the schedule item to the shortcut. Alternative, you can use FBCMD.  
  
Regards,
