Has anybody tried to set up an auto email after a designated amount of time?

What I have set up: UD4, Access97 (can do Access2K)

Form for people to input personal info - including email addy.

This populates a table, plus sends me an email of their info.

I want the database to automatically send an html document (with table info to personalize it) to people who's records are say a day old.

Any ideas?

This question is what I'm interested in also..
How to do this check and the mailing automaticaly?
Obviously I can do this on a standard event (OnPageload etc..) but this means you'r depending on this page being loaded (mite not always happen) and it's degrading the performance..

Another way mite be to schedule some little program localy! This program will then connect with DB .. check .. send emails etc..

It's not what I want..

Isn't there a better way of doing these kind of schedule-jobs?
