I have an Outlook 2003 macro written in VBA.
I would like to schedule it so that it automatically runs at a certain time, say 01:00. The PC is always logged on.
I couldn’t find anything which suggests how to do this.

You could create a scheduled task on the PC to run daily at the specific time, and use the Outlook Command Line Switch to start the program and call your macro e.g:
Update:
You may be able to use an API call to start a timer to run in the background of outlook, you could combine this with the VB Now() command to get the current time and if greater than your scheduling time you could trigger your macro, the API example can be found here:
