How do I schedule a digest to run daily on a Windows 2000 Server? Task Scheduler doesn't seem to do the trick. I have even created a batch file with the following code and scheduled it witht the task scheduler:

@echo off
CD D:\mypath\ubbthreads\cron\php
PHP subscriptions.php
Exit

My client really want this to work. Any ideas?

Try using the "at" command from the command line on the machine - you may have more luck with it.

Is php in your path?
Try adding PATH=%PATH%;D:\path\to\php\bin to the top of the batch file.
You can also add it to your path by right clicking my computer, selecting advanced, environment variables. Scroll down to path and click edit. Add ;D:\path\to\hp\bin folder.
To see if php is in your path open cmd.exe and type php.exe. If you get a php error message then you're ok. If you get:
'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
then you have to add it the path. Once you do the scheduled task will work.
