M morpheus author How can I email a set of records on a daily basis, I have a table called items and one of the fields is called "amended_date", this is a date stamp for when the record was last altered, there is also a field called "engineer", what I need to do is email a list of items that are 7 days old to each engineer, this needs to be triggered every morning, the idea is to remind them to return kit promptly. regards Morpheus

	Usually you need to write a script that checks for expired dates and sends out an email. To run this script on timely fashion you need to setup a cron job. To create a cron job you can use the control panel that your web hosting company provides. Here is the sample command that you can use: `wget http://www.yourwebserver.com/script_name.php`
