Trevor writes "I am quite new to the world of Sql Server, so I hope you will be patient.

I would like to know the steps to create a background task to look at the contents of a table, and as the table is appended, send an email(alert?), if the contents of a field change from say "medium" to "high".

Does SQL server 2000 allow background tasks (ie that run like services)?

Your help is appreciated."

investigate "triggers" to create entries in central table to notify that a record has changed.
investigate "sql agent" to automate running of tasks.

investiage "mail queue" (in the articles section) for an overall look at a solution that does this sort of thing.
