Even though Session is active and open - what should I check and how can I fire off scripts to run even though they are not scheduled until next week? Thanks

The test button will run the currently loaded script in the Automation window.

Or you can run an Automation script that is added to your project manager by right clicking and selecting execute.

Or if the task is scheduled, go to Tools|Administrator|Job Manager. This will display all jobs. Select the one you want and right click | Start Task. This will run a separate instance of TDA and run the script.
