"cron job" is a Unix term. I don't know what M$ name would be equivalent, but it would be easy to send an email if a certain specified date had passed.

CronTab is Unix based software and cannot be used on a windows based system.
However that doesn't mean windows can't replicate this.
Check out this URL - It explains how to emulate a Cron Job with the windows task scheduler. Configuring Cron Jobs on Windows

Why do you need to do this with ASP? ASP is designed to run when a user asks to view a particular page. Obviously this wouldn't be the most convenient way to trigger a date-dependent email.
If you do have to do it with ASP, then the trickiest part would be to send the email at all, and this depends on what other software you have (you can't send an email directly from ASP, you will need to use some sort of server object which will connect the script to an email program and send the email from that). Do you already know how to send an email form an ASP page?
BTW, don't start new threads to ask the same question again.
