Just wondering if there are any computer experts out there who could tell me a a way in which I could do the following.

I have a file that is on my pc which changes on a daily basis. The file name remains the same. What I need is for the file to get converted to txt file and emailed out on a daily basis at a particular time. I have XP running as my operating system.
Any ideas of where I can start to do this. I am not a programmer or anything, but I could follow directions if pointed in the right place.

1, you need to figure out how to covert it to text file ( I don't know what format that file is.....)
2, You need to have a SMTP server (email server).
3, Use a tool (for example, bmail) that can send email from a command line, create a cmd batch file
4, Use your Scheduled tasks tool ( don't tell me you don't know what this is) to accomplish your request.

good luck.
