I may not be 100% accurate with this, because programming capabilities change,
but...
VBA is written WITHIN Applications.
Visual Basic is written AS an Application.
(VBScript would be a scaled-down version of VB)
That is to say, if you want to run a VBA macro, you have to have an Application
(like Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
to provide the application "platform".
If you don't want to open the workbook, then you're limited to Visual Basic,
VBScript or some other Application-level programming language like C++
Even with those, you'll need to have your database accessible.
HOWEVER...
You said: "I don't want to open the (work)book every day".
Why not?
You COULD have the scheduled task run at 4:00am every day and, if your macro
determines that a specific criteria is met, send you an email.
the macro itself would close the workbook, so you'll never actually "see" it
open.

Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Run a Macro in a give time
Paul,
Thank for your reply. You answer is acceptable up to some extend. But I don't
wan't to open the book every day, I just want to execute the macro only.
I have a data base of Insurance expiring dates. I wan't to get a message before
the insurance expired.
See the attached sheet for the macro.
Are they any method to open the workbook, when a insurance expiring?NO need to
open excel sheet every day.
Regards,
Dilan
