Hi John

If it can be done from the JOB then you can schedule the job to start at
00:01.

If you do not want batch approach, then use reflection script ( rbs) or MS
script from Minisoft
to run the macro at predetermine time.
For this you require
    1 ) Reflection or Minisoft software.
    2 ) Windows based scheduler to launch your program at specified time.

Unfortunately, I don't think this (and the other e-mails to this list) was
the answer that Frank ws looking for.  He says that he will be "far".  I
presume this to mean that he wants the program to run as a job with the
inputs pre-programmed in some way.  Otherwise I don't see how it's going to
solve his problem of not being around.
I think the answer is (alas) that he either has to go in at 12.01 or he has
to dial in from wherever he is.
