Working with a Time Window That Extends Past Midnight


When setting up the time during which a task runs, you can enter a time window that extends past midnight and into the next day. You do this by providing an end time that occurs the next morning.

Bear in mind, however, that this type of time window changes the days on which the task can run. For example, if you schedule a task to run between 8:00 PM Friday night and 4:00 AM the next morning, it's possible for the task to run on Saturday anytime before or at 4:00 AM. If you don't want the task to run on Saturday, you must alter the time window, for example, by changing the ending value from 04:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM. Then, the task is confined to one day.

Tip When a time window crosses midnight, the start time is later in the day than the end time.
