ASP is hosted, not run at any certain times, if it's hosted, it's there all the time. Do you actually want to execute the script (vbscript?) to do some work once per way? You may do so by scheduling the task (program) to run at specified using Windows Task Scheduler, provided you already have the working script ready. I say this not knowing what your script is trying to do. Hope this helps.
ive started something that is slightly different, and need some help on it
currently i have the issues with sending emails in the loop
here are the feilds:
CartID - autonumber
CustID
partcode
description
dateadded
qty
price
weight
7day - yes/no field for when the item has been emailed about
12day - yes/no field for when the item has been emailed about
now some customers on the same day have put in their cart multiple items
and on that same day another customer has done the same
id like to send an email to each customer with the list of items that are have been sitting in the cart for a length of time (7days or 12days not less or more than), then once those items have been emailed about, they can be ticked off, until they are scrapped at 14 days (which ive already done the script for)
This script will happen when any customer/admin logs into the website
ideas/questions?

i'm not sure what you mean by 'double up', but the only way to do this is to setup Windows Task Manager to run the web page at whatever interval you decide
Scripts can't run unless they are loaded, so....build your script, and when you setup the task manager, have it load the page just like you would if you were to type the address in your browser
