I currently have a website which customers can login and view their account information stored on a ms access database (which they can update).
i host the website with my own server. win02 advanced server, iis, website comprised of asp.
ive been searching for weeks on how to implement auto-email reminder by email for instance bills to customers on a bi-weekly basis or every month automatically pulling data from my ms access database.
I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me how i can accomplish this. ive looked at mail merge programs etc. but i require somthing that can run on my iis server. asp, vb, etc preferred . not perl, php .
im not familiar with this so i may have to use a windows based mail merge program..
please let me know

devrycis, you will need to write a script that does the following:
1. checks the database to see who needs a reminder
2. sends them reminder
then you need to set up this script to run like every hour. not sure how to do this on a win server.
if you want help with the code, please post the parts wher eyou have problems.
You really should know more about our $1.95 web hosting deal.
