    Is there a clever way to "chain" scheduled tasks? I have a series of tasks I need to run but each varies widely, at any given time, as to how long it runs. The problem is they must run sequentially. I know I can schedule them based on some arbitrarily long time but that is inefficient and may not be practical. TIA.

    Well - if they will all run from a batch file I have an old, old solution for you.

    Master batch file that is a series of calls (in the order you need them to run) to other batch files. One task per secondary batch file and have each return control to the master only when the task is complete.

    Then just run the master batch file from scheduler.

    I thought of that but I'm not sure they can all be launched in DOS mode. I was hoping for something within scheduler but I may have to resort to old bat files. Thanks.
