Thanks ray and bryan, I will be contacting my host very shortly. Thanks for the advice.
It would be great if I can utilise the cfschedule tag. mike -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 22 November 2005 12:49 p.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Automated email Hey Mike: I'd assume that the date that they purchased from him is in the database somewhere. If so, then I'd set up a scheduled task to run once a day that sends to those ppl who's purchase is 4 weeks old. I'd also suggest you check with your host to see if they have some kind of web interface set up that emulates the cfschedule tag. A few of the hosts that we deal with disable the cfschedule tag, then offer an interface where you can do the same thing. That's gonna vary from host to host. If they don't disable the cfschedule tag, then you're good to go. Prolly more ways to do it, but that'd be my suggestion.
