You can make a scheduled task on windows which run a batch file.In this batch file run a java program which connects to database and check for the flag whether report has been sent or not.If not then this program sent mail using java mail api to all people who has not sent report.

Use Quartz as suggested. I would not suggest using Windows scheduler as it would make it platform specific and would be outside to your application.

Make a watchdog application in your project which automatically check the database in a week if report is not there then it send the notification to all person who has not send the report.
