Hi all, Can anybody please offer any starting points on exactly that? Bascily I want to run a piece of code (DTML or Python) every, say, 5 mins, that will do some SQL queries and then other stuff if a date field is greater than the current date and time. Simple stuff - I hope! But I have not much idea where to start looking, and I haven't been too successful with what I've tried so far... :( thanks for any help! Regards, Greg Conway.
