Timer Job

[calton]

I have a list. I would like to send out an email when today's date equals to the EmailDate column in the list.

How to schedule the task to check time everyday. Thanks.

Well, some event has to make the script run. The best method IMHO is to use FM Server and schedule a script to run every morning.

If not using FM Server then the next best thing is to run the script whenever the file is opened. This will be a real drag for the first person that opens the file each day.

I use http://www.360works.com/scriptmaster/ and https://github.com/d.../ooScriptMaster for this type of task when FM Server is not being used. I wrote some functions that allow you to schedule scripts with cron-style scheduling.
