I am writing a VB.Net application that will replace a series of DTS
packages. The DTS packages run once a day at a scheduled time
automatically.

Would this new application be a Windows Service that runs constantly, or is
there a way to schedule the automatic running of an application? It has no
user interface.

Thanks,
Dean S

Hi Dean,

You can schedule an executable to run using the "Scheduled Task" area in
your control panel. This probably wasn't the right newsgroup for the
question - but good luck anyway :)
