Heya Brenda -
as Al and Vlad have mentioned -
use the Windows Task Scheduler in the client o/s.

You could also :
1. do some things with an old dos util called 'waitfor' and have it launch your app that way [not really recommended, but it works]
2. write up more than just the app invocation in the Windows Task Scheduler - ie - write up some WSH code that checks for the network connection, logs in as needed, then launches the app.
3. If you have ONE job that needs to run automated - do you have MORE ? I'm a big fan of Automate from Unisyn Technologies [see http://www.unisyn.com ]
It handles a lot o things, including email notifications, ftp services, job scheduling, remote job scheduling, keyboard stuffing, mouse driving...
