I have a script. All it does is generates a random number and puts it into a database. Is there anyway I can run this script every night a 12:00AM. I think i can create a .url page with a link to the script and use the task manager to do it for me. Is there a better way?

There are components even 3rd party providers to do that for you. It has been posted here some time ago. One was named that executes asp pages for you at a given time. Personally I think it is easier to just set up a task so you have control over it.
