Automated Submit Button

[details]

Is it possible to have a script automatically submit information from a web site based on the date.

So every 30 days or so, the script will run and submit info without having to click the submit button?

Any ideas on where I should start? :confused:

Submit what? And from who's browser session?

What are you trying to accomplish?

Basically I have a site developed in ASP/Access database. This site is for a health network. I currently have real time processing setup through authorize.net.

I would like to make my backend admin automatically send the recurring charge action to authorize.net every 30 days.

"??

use the Windows Scheduler to do that. Ask in the ASP forum about this, coz I'm not sure exactly how it should be done...

beetle is right... what you'll need to do is have a related table in your database that has the date of the last time the user has been charged...

You can then run a DTS package that charges their credit card again (if they haven't been charged within the last month, for instance), assuming you also have a field that designates whether they have an active account, and you are keeping the date that they were last charged in the database, etc...

This would actually require a bit of planning before successful execution to avoid errors and potential problems.

I would get together with someone in your company that knows about databases.

You shouldn't (and can't, really... well you could but why bother, not to mention the security ramifications) run this kind of thing from a webpage...
