Scheduled Tasks, printing from within a selected app

I'd like to set up the XP Scheduled Tasks utility to open an app [in this case, QuickBooks], select a report, and then print.

I searched Microsoft, but was led to the Developer's area. This is far to technical for me.

Perhaps there's a 3rd party utility that takes advantage of 'Scheduled Tasks' for this sort of thing?

If you'll go through adding a new task you'll see that it can't come close to doing something like this.

Opening Quickbooks is as far as it can get.

You will need a macro recorder to record your keystrokes and/or mouse clicks - its pretty easy if you have a half decent program. There are a variety you can try out : http://www.tucows.com/macros95_license.html
