Thanks parse27!

Someone told me I could try it out using MS Acess. But how would I automate the task?

well i you're gonna have to seek the code itself but the general flow of it is this i think:

1. your asp script queries the access database
2. it returns a listing, or recordset, of all the records in your database whose birth date equals the present date (the year in the date not included in the comparison)
3. the script then goes, or loops, through the recordset and sends a pre-written email to every email address in the recordset, changing the name for each recipient.

this is a general framework though..you'll have to read up on it and add some more..

hope it helps..
