Often enough, triggers are used in ways that cause problems or are used in ways that are not as stable as other methods. Matthew is describing one of these that, depending on his needs, I may suggest he change his philosophy a bit. However, first, I wanted to check his settings because they can be a PIA to troubleshoot if they are set wrong. I still make errors when setting triggers. Regarding the use of triggers, I'll speak in general terms because I don't really know what Matthew is testing for and what his test code is. However, I see many people use triggers as a way of executing code in a certain time frame. It is my experience that, instead of giving the job of "time keeper" to the trigger system, you give that job to the code instead. for example, ...Instead of hitting a page every hour, hit the page quite a few times per hour and have the code on that page decipher if its time to execute. This also protects against misc. hits. Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
