If you could encapsulate the processes to send the file via email in a command line application you could schedule it with windows task scheduler.

I'd recommend SSIS and SQL Agent, or SSRS, but since it looks like you're using SQL Express you likely don't have those options.

then what can i do kevin sir :) windows scheduler is useful to my application? – Aties Jan 27 '13 at 06:25
Definitely - scheduling is the difficult part, so if you have the ability to take advantage of that existing functionality in the OS it'd probably save you a lot of time. You may also want to switch from using COM to create the worksheet to using some of the OpenXML libs - this was a post I referred to, to do something similar: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/527028/open-xml-sdk-2-0-how-to-update-a-cell-in-a-spreadsheet – Kevin Dahl Jan 27 '13 at 07:09
