>Need to have an app that starts at say 4:00pm every day. It will read some table and created a txt file. How can I do this or does somone have a utility or third party software. The tables reside on a Novell server.
You can set an app to run via Scheduled Tasks (exact way to do this depends on your Windows version). If you're accessing files on a Novell server your workstation will need to be logged in while the scheduled process runs. If it's overnight and you're concerned about security, set up a password-protected screen saver.
