slow global.asa execution

[John Beschler]

Why are you running this in global.asa anyway? There has
to be at least 3 or 4 other BETTER ways to do this.

The easiest way would be to create a VB script file that
accomplishes the same thing (the code would be wuite
similiar to what you have now) and schedule that VB file
to run at 10:00 am every Friday morning using task
scheduler.

Hello All,

I have problem with sending mail using global.asa. I made my global.asa sothat every friday at 10.00 (actually when first new session start after thistime) send mail to my mailing list (it's automaticaly generate content ofmail). But problem is that my mailing list is pretty large (about 4000adresses), and it takes about 10 minutes to send all mail). And the userwho's started that session have to wait for 10 minutes ('till the global.asacomplete execution) to see first page. Is there any way in global.asa toinitiate execution of other asp page which will send mail???
Thanks

Unfortenately, I haven't my own server, so I have shgared hosting, and I
cannot acceess scheduler. Also, my audience is from diferent part of Planet,
so I can't do in 4 AM.

But, thanks for trying to help me.

OK. Here's another option.

1. Create an APS page that accomplishes your mailing.
2. On someother computer (can be anywhere) schedule
Internet explorer (or your favorite web browser) to run
when you need your mailing to happen with the ASP page
created in step 1 as the page to load.

I.E. "C:\program files\internet
explorer" "http://www.yourserver.com/yourpage.asp"
The global.asa should be used to initialize your ASP
environment, not to run code.

HTH,
John
