I am setting up a Classifieds section on our radio station
website and would like to be able to set the ads to be
deleted after a set amount of time. I have looked at Page
Based on Schedule but I'm not sure if that will work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Bruce,

The easiest, and best IMHO, is to utilize a database and an ASP/X page. The
SQL could be set so as to check the listing start date then not display it
if it is 'n' days / weeks / yata yata weeks old.

This is easiest if you store all the ads in a database.
That way, you can use the Database Results component to
search for ads, and to restrict the visible ads by date.
