I have a report that i generate via ASP off of an access database for a person in our data processing department every week.

I save it to my hard drive then attach it to an email sending it to him and cc'ing his boss.

can i automate this process? (programmmmmmmmatically) :)
 
Yes you make an Sheduled task to run each week that asp. Could be another asp page or just a VBScript file (MyReport.vbs) wich will use XMLHTTP object to navigate to the report page, get the response, create and email store the response there and send it out.

how do i schedule the launch of an ASP page?

is it just like scheduling any other task?
 
Just make a link to that page and then execute that link on shedule. It should work ok.
