Use a timer to execute a function

[Si]

Hi Guys

I need to find a timer or a replacement to perform this:

I am executing an VBA/Access function from ASP. And so that i can release
the webpage from the access function (so that my users do not have to wait
for the function to run), i want to only activate a timer from ASP. Then
the ASP will think that the code has finished and will show the page to the
user.

Then the timer will fire when the function has ended and will execute the
actual function.

Has anyone got any idea how i can do this (or a more reliable method).

Thanks Si
