Hi Lee,

You can download a version of wget for windows (wget.exe) from
Gnuwin32.sourceforge.net and then use your system's "at" command to get
the page:

1) install wget
2) add the location of wget to the PATH.
3) make sure the Task Scheduler service is running
4) at the command prompt type:

at 16:30 /EVERY:TUESDAY "wget http://www.example.com/path/to/script.cfm
--append-output=wgetlog.txt"

check the docco for at ("help at") and wget ("wget -h") for more
options.

/t
