Why *not* use a CF scheduled task that runs every minute or so? You could also use a database trigger that runs when a date/time record is inserted into the respective table.

I need to write a routine that executes various actions based on user entered dates/times. The dates/times to act would be listed in a data base. I really don't see a way to use the Scheduled Tasks page for this as that seems more in tune to batch processing type stuff. The only way I can think of doing this is to write a never ending program that keeps checking to see if an action is ready to kick off. Is there a better way to handle this? Thanks Robert B.
