HI

1) write a text file insert.sql (replace <> with needed values) , see code snippet

2) create a BAT file insert.cmd that has the following line:

/sqlcmd -S -d -U -P -i insert.sql

3) Test the batch file by running it manually

4) Use windows scheduler to run the batch file each day at 11 PM

See http://www.iopus.com/guides/winscheduler.htm for details
