[Oleg]

You send email in the text loop (file E:\DATA\robotask\Lijsten\Vertegenwoordigers.txt) step #27
Unfortunately I don't see where you create the file E:\DATA\robotask\Lijsten\Vertegenwoordigers.txt.

Maybe you forgot this?
Amount of emails should be equal to amount of lines in the text E:\DATA\robotask\Lijsten\Vertegenwoordigers.txt

[jeroen123]

Dear Oleg,

The file 'vertegenwoordigers.txt' is always in that directory; thats where I keep the names and emails. so this is available.
it contains 6 lines with emails; but each emailadres receives the email 3 times..
any idea how this can happen?
(other tasks with email function not seems to have this problem..)

in step 3 there is a header created for the TXT file: but sometimes we not see that header.
could it be that robotask jumps over tasks, or is too fast for tasks?

[Oleg]

in step 3 there is a header created for the TXT file: but sometimes we not see that header.

But I see that step #3 is "Delete file"...

Also I see that you use global variables. All variables are global by default and can be changed in another task.
I strongly recommend you to declare all necessary variables as local
You can do this at Local variables tab (see screenshot below)

Add the declaration of loop variables

Dear Oleg,
still tasks run unwanted..

could it be that there is multiple versions of ROBOTASK running simultaniously?

in my taskmanager I see 3 lines:

ScreenShot045.jpg (11.12 KiB) Viewed 22491 times

how to check?

[Oleg]

It seems you use RDC (remote desktop connection) and you have 3 sessions of user "administrator". Correct?

I recommend you to use different users for different sessions.
RoboTask can be started only once within one session. If you have several separated sessions then RoboTask can be started in each session.

We'll investigate the problem, probably we will add some mechanism to avoid of running RoboTask on one computer within separate sessions under the same user.

[Oleg]

I recommend you to use such command line of RDC client:
mstsc /admin

In this case you will have only one administrative connection.
