Scheduled task remains running after job is complete

1 New Member
I am running backup to .mdb file on a Windows 2003 server .

My issue is that when the program completed it still is in a "running" state when I highlight the icon for the scheduled task I have to manually stop the task in order for the next scheduled backup to run.

Is there a command line switch that I can use to force quit the program after it is completed or even if the job does not complete.

Thanks for your help in advance
