Thanks for stopping by at my post; as amateur python writer, I'm writing a code to schedule a Copy & Paste process based on time previously defined by a user.
There should be 3 different times in the day where the copy & paste process should be executed. When I run the process independently it works just fine, however, when I try to run two or moew the error I'm having is that the Progress creates a secondary window causing the code fail trying to close two windows, the actual progress bar and the "parasite" progress bar.
When I run only one process only pop-up one single progress bar pop-up once and close without no issues.
However, when I run two process simultaneously, at the time schedule one executed opens two progress bar however when Tkinter try to close it the two bars it shows an error. please see below my code:
