texte = Hi Steve, As mentioned in the trigger admin: "The trigger will execute if it is enabled, and the NextExecute time is earlier than the current time" My guess is that the NextExecute had passed while your server was having issues.. Anyway, I don't like to rely on triggers to run code at certain times. Instead, I wrap my code to be fired in a "time wrapper".. ie. (code to be ran once daily) ----------------------------------------------------------- [if ({[time]} < {sometime}) & ({[time]} > {sometime})] [then] [!] ** Some solution to know if already hit today ** [/!] [text]t_lasthit=[lookup db=codehit.db&lookinfield=ch_date&value=[date]&returnfield=ch_id¬found=NF] [showif [t_lasthit]=NF] < Run your code > [!] ** record hit ** [/!] [append db=codehit.db&autonumber=CH_ID]ch_date=[url][date][/url][/append] [/showif] [/then] [/if] ------------------------------------------------------------ Then set up a trigger that fires every minute or so.. enough to pass the initial condition a few times (for redundancy). Hope that helps to avoid future problems.
