We just gave up on triggers after struggling with them for over a year, and are now much happier (and faster and more stable and more consistently executed) running our triggers from a unix box with crontab and wget. There are similar tools available for NT if you don't have a unix box handy.Third, as for debugging triggers, make sure you only list a single number or * in each time component, and that the value is absolute and valid (i.e. specify 5 in the minute field means 5 minutes after every hour, not every 5 minutes). Otherwise please post your raw database of triggers.db to the list and we'll try to help you out further.Good luck,-Dale -- Dale LaFountain Vice President of Information Technology, WebMaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc. mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 http://www.darkhorse.com/------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
