Harold,

The way that I would do this would be to recode the ASP page to a .VBS file
and then execute that file from the windows scheduler.  The conversion from
ASP to .VBS should be fairly painless since ASP uses VBScript.  To execute
the VBS file, use the following:

cscript.exe myvbsfile.vbs

HTH,
