Schedule Task

Hi

I want to run a MSSql Data base update.

1) Is the "Schedule Task" Tool discountASP offers what I need to use ?
2) if yes do I create a web page, the "Schedule Task" will call, that does the Database update ?
If No Suggestion are welcomed !

Thanks in advance

I haven't tried their Scheduled Task feature but yes if you create a page that can update your database that tool should work for you, claims to run up to 2 tasks and that it can work with password protected url's.

Thank you for your reply.

Bruce:
I have some questions I hope they are not to dumb:
1) When you say "the scheduled task service do not follow redirection" do you mean that the page that is call by the scheduled task manager can not redirect to another page ?
2) Is there a command to end the scheduled task session?
3) What is the difference between the two selections of the url is there benifits with one over the other ?
4) Is the page called by the scheduled task managed place in the root or can it be in a subdirectory ?
5) Is there someplace that documents the use of the scheduled task Manager or is it so simple I'm the only one that has to ask questions ? I searched in the discountASP forums and could not find anything.

Thanks again

Thank you for your reply. I will be trying the Scheduled Task this week. Bruce nothing is straight forward to someone that has never used something. Item 3 is a example of that. Im just trying to determine the requirements for its use so I can minimize the problems withimplementation. I really appreciate you answering my questions.


Thanks again

I have another questions, after looking closer at the Scheduled Task:


1)I want the end date to be forever should I leave it blank or put in01/02/2999.


Thanks again
