RE: SQL Triggers and Multiple Member Database Files

Hmmm... interesting problem. I'm not aware of a way to do this with just SQL; 
however, maybe the SQL could reference a UDF() that checked files open in the 
job? I've never checked such job & file info while an SQL function was active.

The UDF() could be written in any available language. Just a thought.
