How to schedule an ASP program

Apologies if this is an obvious question but I'm not too familiar with
Windows. I've been asked to look into scheduling an ASP program to run
automatically in the night on our Windows 2000 server. Is there something
built into the operating system I can use or is there a third party/open
source solution? I've been told about Host Monitor but don't know anything
about it.

Thanks for any help.

asp scripts can only be run with IIS and will impact only on the web. You may
want to use visual basic instead

ASP is an Active Server Page. It is like an html page only it has script which runs on the HTTP server. So what you are asking is there a way to schedule IE say to start and load a ASP page on a shedule? Probably but that's what you want.
