HI

I would like to know how would it be possible for me to automate a button action in vb.net.

Currently i have a user who clicks a button and the code is executed.

I now want to change it so that this code is run everyday at a certain time(midnight).

Solution 2

yes this can be done by calling a function in a timer object.
set up a few variables to get the system time and compare it with the time u want.

when the compare returns true then call the button event handler.

Where did you get the idea that he is using a database at all?

He just needs to use a timer or schedule, this question is nothing to do with SQL or databases.
