Which solutions to automatically alert people to fill-in timesheet

[jpa]

Hi
I am using Project Server 2007 (SP1 + PIU).
We use Timesheet to get task reporting from project members.
Question:
Is there any means to send alert (e-mail) at the end of timesheet period
(when not sublitted yet)?

Thanks for your help

Since the timesheet periods don't automatically close, there's no event
that's fired at the end of a timesheet period.



However, you could create a custom timer job that would run at, say,
1am, to check the current date against the timesheet periods. Then, if
it were the day after the timesheet period, it could check to see who
has not submitted a timesheet and send them an email.

Thanks stephen for your inputs

I am quite new with "custom timer job " implementation.
Could you please detail a little bit the implementation steps ?
(could this be done within PWA?)
Ideally I would appreciate some pointers illustrating similar kind of
implementation

Thanks in advance for your tme and help
