global.asa

[rammy]

Hi,
Im working on sending emails from ASP. I have the list of email addresses in a table. I have to query the database to get the list of email addresses and then send the mails. My question is how do i automate this process?? one way is to use the

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">

to refresh my page.( this will refresh the page every 1 min.)

but is this possible in global.asa?? if not, is there any way of a similar process using the global.asa???

thanx a ton!

No its not. It would also be a bad idea if you could becuase it would start a new session every minute.

ok, then is there a way to repeat the code after a particular interval of time? in vbscript i can use the

window.settimeout statement

to repeat my code...what about in ASP? is there amy way??

thanx.

Whatever it is it will have to be client-side if you want the page to refresh. The client has to request the page form the server, the server can't just force the client to refresh.

Maybe you should just serve a page with the meta tags you showed.
