There's a program named Macro Express that can do some interesting things.
http://www.macros.com
It allows you to create macros that can control most programs and most functions on a PC. You can create the macros in the recorder or use the built-in script editor to select from available funtions. Their email function will let you send a file. It has many options for scheduling.
We use it to automate several processes for publishing our documentation.
It's perfect for getting things done with having to write a compiled app.
