This is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure this out. I am not a techy and just want something easy and user friendly to schedule simple tasks. I did create a task that I want to run at various&nbsp;times of the&nbsp;day, but everytime&nbsp;one runs, the program shuts down and therefore will not run again unless I bring it up again. I'm sure there is a simple resolution but it's not so easy to find clicking around at options or using the help screens. I am finding this software&nbsp;harder to use than I expected. Thanks.

Hi - the scheduling is designed to run a project and then quit.   
  
 You can override this behaviour though:   
 1. In the scheduler window, select the scheduled project and then “Edit Task (Advanced)”   
 2. In the advanced dialog, go to Task tab and then in the Run tab remove the /e option (/e = exit when done)   
  
 If you don’t wan the project to run automatically, but just open Automise with the project loaded, you can also remove the /r option.   
 All the options are documented in the help file (Help File root -\> Automating Automise -\> Automise IDE -\> IDE Command Line Interface)

Please see my run tab below. It does not have the /e option. Thanks.   
  
  
 “C:\Program Files\Automise 2\ATCMD.exe” /o /p"C:\Documents and Settings\max\My Documents\Automise Projects\Download Deepdiscount Feeds.atz2"

You’re using ATCMD to run Automise, not the Automise IDE. Edit the task from the Automise Scheduler dialog, and choose Automise IDE instead of ATCMD and then it should work fine.
