When one puts a trigger on a physical file:

1-Does the trigger get copied to copies or duplicated objects of the
triggered file?

2-What happens if a field is accessed/changed with a non-green screen
application like Access if the trigger validates a field, and if invalid,
starts an interactive window displaying valid choices?  (There is a file
that is used in a very elaborate and integrated purchased package.  We
want to validate a few fields in the file against acceptable responses in
another file.  A trigger does that very nicely.  We don't access the file
with any non-green screen applications now, nor do we plan to, but we are
wondering what would happen if the future changed our mind.)
