| New to triggers but is there a way to have SQL 2000 query a table behind the scenes in a stored procedure while other code in a VB app is running? Kind of like an 'Out of Process EXE' would do?Thanks |

| I think what you're asking is: is there a way to asynchronously call a stored procedure? There is, and it has nothing to do with SQL Server - it's entirely dependent on the capabilities of the caller. With VB5/6, your choices are limited to creating a multithreaded ActiveX EXE. With .NET your multithreading and synchronization options are more expansive.Jonathan Boott, MCDBA{0} |

no what I want is a stored procedure to run automatically without being called |

| How about a JOB that calls a stored proc. That would allow your stored proc to run at schedule intervals, totally independant of the client application.Is that what you are looking for?Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

Nope... he means a SQL Job. Running under the SQL Agent. Look up Jobs in BOL, or browse in EM to Mangement, SQL Agent, Jobs. |
