i am working on a project where registered users keep reminders of the events like birthday,holiday,appointment according to date
all the events are stored in an event log.(sql server 2005 express edition)
the event log stores details like user,eventname,date,emailid,emailmesage,emailsub etc
on the day the event is supposed to happen users are informed through a mail which is stored in the event log..

i need to know how can these automatic mails be generated either in sql server 2005. i tried using cdo but job scheduler is not present in sql server express edition.
is there any way i can make it work on sql server 2005 express edition.
or should i upgrade to standard edition.
is there any other way i can send emails for the same through asp.net front end.

Can you send an email?
You can always schedule a stored procedure from the windows scheduler.
I would upgrade though - it will make your like easier.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
