Hello All,
Here's the scenario:
2 people in the office schedule reports via the scheduler; myself being one of them. We each run different reports and, thus, have different reports scheduled. The time has come for my colleague's reporting duties to be transferred over to me. He has a LOT of reports that need to be run on a daily basis that I do not have on the scheduler in my computer. :roll:
The question:
Is there a way to join both schedules so that I don't have to go down the list 1 by 1 entering the information in the scheduler on my computer?
We both have the same user name in Microsoft Office, if that helps at all.
Software:
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0, SP1
Excel 2007
Thanks in advance!

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi,
I'm not sure if this will work, but there might be a way. The Jet Reports scheduled tasks are really just Windows Tasks under the covers. So if you look in the C:\Windows\Tasks folder, you should see all the Jet scheduled tasks as .job files. You could copy those .job files from your coworker's computer and paste them into the C:\Windows\Tasks folder on your computer. You will probably have to change the permission on the files (give yourself permission to them via the CACLS command on the command line). You will also probably have to open each one individually and reschedule it in order to put in your own login credentials so the task will run as you instead of as your coworker. If you do those things, I believe it may work. Try it and let us know if it works.
Regards,

Jet Reports Historic Posts Just to follow up (I know it's been a while), we successfully moved the .job files over. However, we're having the IT dept. check out the permissions because, as Hughes stated, I am unable to make any changes to the scheduled tasks due to not having permission. IT dept. has this in their queue. Will advise once completed.
Thanks again for the help. This looks like it'll work once the permissions have been changed.
