RE: Trigger programme without a trigger.

David - one of the posters here has a trigger manager - that is the program called by the actual trigger - but the work is done by something called by the manager. This gets around many of the problems with triggers, including locks and all. I think is it A. Campin - senior moment - forgot his first name!

This ends up being a trigger that fires for a very short time, calling the real program.

That's exactly what I asked! : a Trigger programme without a trigger.

I hear there are occasional problems when a trigger program is involved,
although I don't have a lot of experience with these. I've just created a new
transaction file and the boss says no trigger. The trigger on the master file
already fires off all over the place and can be a pain in the neck while
developping.

I must add, I agree with you all, if it were me I'd use a trigger.

That's a bit like asking to automatically playing a sound when somebody pushes a
button next to my door, without installing a doorbell.

Don't ask me why I want to do this!

Is there anyway of invoking a procedure automatically each time a
write/update is done on the file in the module without putting a
trigger on the file ?

Thanks
