I currently have a VBScript that connects to a database, pulls out some information, does a compairson and then sends an email if conditions are met. It works online but I need to find a way to make this run on a schedule and I think the best way is probably to write it as a Visual Basic exe and set it up on the web server using the Windows scheduler.

It's been about 5 years since I wrote a VB program so I was wondering if anyone out there could help me sort how to go about doing the same thing in VB as I did in VBScript? Or point me towards a tutorial that will let me connect to a database, run a query and send an email.
