Auto-send "today's date" records upon start up

This is so simple, I know it, but I have just been dorking out for like an hour unable to make it work and looking for advice here.

Don't laugh, it's so stupid.

I've got the email and a button already set up that I can hit anytime to send a certain email message to a small group of users. That's cool, but I want to automate it...ALL I want to do, so simply is:

When we open Filemaker each day, I'd like the start-up script to find the set of records with "today's date" in a certain field and then auto-send an email. We have this short email set up to say "Reminder, this customer needs a callback today" bla bla. It's just internal, no biggie, and it's been working fine with the manually-triggered button. It's just getting Filemaker to do it by itself up on start-up that I can't seem to...uh...

Someone get me going here in dorkland?

Here's the script steps to find those records:

Enter Find Mode [] (no restore)

Set field [MyDateField,status(currentdate)]

Perform Find [] (no restore)

If status(currentfoundcount) = 0

exit script

endif
