scheduled autorun web page?

Is there any way to run specified web pages automatically
at a given time, e.g. midnight? The intention is to run
an ASP page which manages DB, Email notification, etc.
Any other good way to accomplish this?
Thank you for your advice to a novice.

an much simpler and vastly more reliable way is to create a simple vbscript
to request the page via xmlhttp
then just use windows scheduler to execute the script at the required times.


dim http
set http=createobject("microsoft.xmlhttp")
http.open "GET" , "http://localhost/somesite/someautrunpage.asp" , false
http.send

Or just re-write the ASP as a VBS and schedule it ...
