Quoting John Thomas drupal.org-2008@jt-socal.com:
Any suggestions are appreciated. I do not know how to code, but can probably figure it out if it is only messing with a few lines.
I would probably create an external script to do the job. Select node nids of the node_type you want from the DB and do a node_load [1] then a node_save [2]. For an example of how to bootstrap Drupal from an external script look at top of cron.php.
