ah no nothing as complex as that, just good ol strings out to a text file.

I want code that will sit on a server and run for weeks without a glitch or a requester, keeping things down as simple as possible and no relying on outside software seems to be the best way.

I do the same for emailing, just talk straight to the exchange server over in a telnet manner as again automating outlook was causing so many issues.

the idea of automation is nice but in reality, in a buisness situation where you need stuff to work it's just not stable enough.
