Aecio writes "Hello,

I need to update records in a table based on the date. The table is of news articles and two of the fields are Date Published and a boolean field Publish. I need to check at least once a day if the current date is equal to the datPublished and if so, change the value of the bolPublished field to 1.

At the moment I do this manually, running an ASP page daily that in turn runs an UPDATE tblArticles SET bolPublished=1 WHERE datPublished = (ASP inserts the current date here in SQL prefered format).

I am sure there is a way to do this automatically with MSSQL Server 7. Could you shed some light as to how to do this?

Thank you very much.

Aecio"
