Question

Mail on a certain day and time

So I need to be able to set up an email to send at a certain day and time, but I'm not allowed to use scheduled tasks.  The subject, body, and all the email info is stored in a table.  When the user inputs the email info on the form, they are asked if they want the email to be sent later and if so, what day and time?  I can capture all of the information I need, but I just don't know what to do with it.  Any ideas?

    Without using scheduled tasks?  No sorry I don't know of another way to schedule a task without using some form of schedule task tool.

    Now, the operating system, the Application server (i.e. ColdFusion) and the database probably all have some type of scheduled task tool that you could choose from.  But one of them is going to have to be used.

    What can't you use the ColdFusion scheduled task?

    For some reason my boss doesn't want me to use them.  This is exactly what I expected.  I will mark as answered.  Thanks!
