Schedule ASP page

Hello, all. We need to schedule an ASP page to run hourly/daily, which
generates a static HTML (*.htm) page. Is this possible with VBS? If so, are
there any examples out there? Thank you much.

Under Win98, I use the Task Scheduler; for example: "Run = "

C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE http://{your-domain}\{your-page}.asp

Just to clarify here...it is not possible to schedule on the server. The web
works on a "pull" paradigm - it cannot "push".

So, what you need to do is look at getting your client to refresh every hour.
See the html tag <META> with a refresh parameter.

David,

1. Create a vb executable project.
2. Browse on menu Project/references
3. Check "Microsoft internet Controls"
4. Add this control to your form and get a name like "ctlINet"
5. On sub Form_Load
Dim strUrl As String
Dim urlData
ctlINet.Protocol = icHTTP
strUrl = "http://.../xxx.asp" 'Address of your asp page
urlData = ctlINet.OpenURL(strUrl)
6. Compile it and generate an exe file like mySchedule.exe
7. Setup schdule mySchedule.exe in Command (DOS) as you want.

Hope it is help.
