    <p>You can create a small (non-gui) launcher application that will call the new program for you (I know, that's what you've called the hard solution) and then schedule this launcher on the task scheduler.</p> <p>This launcher application would have to create de process (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">CreateProcess function</a>), and then get the Window Handle from the pID... with the window handle you can use SetForegroundWindow to do what you need, or call other functions for things like maximize, etc.</p> <p>Since you tagged delphi, I'm posting a possible delphi implementation of that.</p> <pre><code>function WindowFromPID(pID: Cardinal; VisibleWindow: Boolean): Cardinal; type TProcData = record pID: Cardinal; pHandle: Cardinal; VisibleWindow: Boolean; end; var wPData: TProcData; function EnumProc(Handle: HWND; var pProcData: TProcData): Bool; stdcall; var pID: DWORD; begin Result := True; if pProcData.VisibleWindow then if not IsWindowVisible(Handle) then Exit; GetWindowThreadProcessId(Handle, @pID); if pID = pProcData.pID then begin if GetWindow(Handle, GW_OWNER) = 0 then begin pProcData.pHandle := Handle; Result := false; end; end; end; begin wPData.pHandle := 0; wPData.pID := pID; wPData.VisibleWindow := VisibleWindow; EnumWindows(@EnumProc, Integer(@wPData)); while (wPData.pHandle = 0) do begin Sleep(50); EnumWindows(@EnumProc, Integer(@wPData)); end; Result := wPData.pHandle; end; procedure RunAndGetWindowHandle(const FileName, Params: String; const WindowState: Word): Cardinal; var SUInfo: TStartupInfo; CmdLine: String; ProcInfo: TProcessInformation begin CmdLine := '"' + Filename + '"' + Params; FillChar(SUInfo, SizeOf(SUInfo), #0); with SUInfo do begin cb := SizeOf(SUInfo); dwFlags := StartF_UseShowWindow; wShowWindow := WindowState; end; if not CreateProcess(Nil, PChar(CmdLine), nil, nil, False, Create_New_Console Or Normal_Priority_Class, nil, PChar(ExtractFilePath(Filename)), SUInfo, ProcInfo) then raise Exception.Create('Error running process'); if WaitForSingleObject(ProcInfo.hProcess, 50) &lt;&gt; WAIT_TIMEOUT then raise Exception.Create('Error running process!'); CloseHandle(ProcInfo.hThread); while Result = 0 do begin Sleep(50); Result := WindowFromPID(ProcInfo.dwProcessId, true); end; end; ... var WindowHandle: Cardinal; begin WindowHandle := RunAndGetWindowHandle("powerpnt.exe", " /s", SW_SHOWNORMAL); SetForegroundWindow(WindowHandle); end; </code></pre> <p>Hope that's what you need.. sorry if it's not.</p> <p>Best Regards.</p>

    2. CO@TomR, you probably got the code missing the WindowFromPID function, which I just added. I didn't notice it was missing at first, sorry.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
