In Windev, what is the best way to write a program that does not have a user interface (ie: something that will be called by the Windows scheduler to do a batch process without user intervention).

Is the best approach to use an 'External language' or is there some way to write a traditional 3GL type program within Windev that does not require a Window to run?

No,

Just create a application with only procedures and no windows. Call the procedures in the project initiaton section.

Thanks very much. Just an old 3gl programmer trying to wrap my head around a 4gl way of doing things.

Donald,

I would also take a look at command: CommandLine()

Even if you have a window, you can make it invisible. So you can use a control (e.g. a table control) and its functionality.
