I am looking for a way to launch an ASP page I have written at 12:01 each day on a Windows 2003 server machine. I assumed I could just point to the ASP page located in inetpub and it would run - however this simply opens it in notepad, or shows the plain text when opened in I.E. Does anyone know how this can be done so that it actually launches as if an outside user is accessing the page?

yes, linking directly to the file will not work because you calling it outside the realm of IIS. without giving it much thought you could set IE's default homepage to the URL of the file you want call and then set up a task that opens IE at 12:01. Regardless of what you decide to do, there will have to be some browser interaction OR figure out how to directly interface with IIS and have it process the file as if a user were hitting your website. My .02 anyway.
