Dear WSH News Group Readers,

Having gleamed from the ASP News Group that using a  WSH script to
automatically run an ASP page is exactly what I am
looking for on our Intranet - I need to run a page, test.asp, on Friday
evening at 17:00 hrs - each week.

Can any one help me with the  WSH syntax that would accomplish this ?? I

have read the MS Windows NT Server 4.0 book but have found little in the

way of help. For example, how to open the Internet Explorer browser and
get the page http://www.*-*-*.com/

Help would greatly be appreciated. I am very, very new to WSH scripting
so please be gentle.

Thanks

Nicholas

You don't need WSH.
Use the Win98 (or IE4 on NT) task scheduler. Add a new task and enter a
command line like
C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE http://server/VirtualDir/test.asp
(Note: long file names don't work)
You can Stop the scheduled task after 1 minute to close the browser window.

You could use WSH to Automate IE or the Inet Transfer Control but the above
is much simpler.
At first I tried to drag and drop a shortcut from the desktop into the
scheduler window but that would have been too simple!
Regards,
Ian
