Hi there,



I'm not sure whether this is a VB question but would appreciate any 

pointers: can I use CDONTS to automatically send out email at regular 

intervals, e.g. every 24 hours or once a week etc., without my 

intervention?  (I want to send the results of a database query via email 

where the results change regularly).  



I know CDONTS can send the email automatically as a 'one-off' but don't 

know if it can be used for these regular, timed-interval mailings.  Am I 

looking at a VB/3rd-party component to do this?  What would be the 

better/best solution?



Thanks for any feedback.

.NET with System Services would be excellent for this task =)



outside of .NET you *should* be able to use the scripting host...someone

correct me if i'm wrong? =)

If you are going to leave a browser window open you could have specific

times trigger the event.  You'd probably have to set a loop to run while it

was not a certain time, then when that time hit it would send your e-mail

then the go back to the beginning of the loop.



I haven't done this personally but it sounds feasible.
