Why not just launch a browser, passing the URL as a parameter? &nbsp;For example:<br />
<br />
<i>iexplore <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a></i>
</div>


<div>
so make a batch file that says that in some syntax ? ( sorry obvious n00b ) lol
</div>


<div>
You could make a .bat file or just set that up as the command in a scheduled task.

I have a WONDERFULLY working .ASP script that runs awesome when I access it via the browser manually. All the processes work in the background and I just report running processing time to the screen.<br />
<br />
What I next need to do is automate the task.<br />
<br />
I understand there some problem with TaskScheduler supporting .asp files and I cant just change the file name to .vbs<br />
<br />
I used a converter on CNET to change a copy of .Asp file into .EXE and tried also .VBS none seem to work I bet because of the HTTPS cert prompt<br />
<br />
I got thinking maybe I could use a site like <a href="http://callmyapp.com" rel="ugc">http://callmyapp.com</a>&nbsp;but then this IIS is not able to be seen outside my business' DMZ lol<br />
<br />
so Im stuck <br />
<br />
any ideas how to &quot;CRON&quot;/ automate my asp page ?<br />
<br />
thanks so much!

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
