Good question. Currently it is a business rule and VFP app does it nicely. I also have a ASP.NET web forms application that needs to do the same thing. And I have a native iOS application that needs to do the same thing. So I was thinking of "moving" this routine to the DB.

>>Is it possible to set some kind of a 'trigger' that SQL server would send an email when a certain field(s) changes value? Currently this feature is done in the VFP 9 application. I am thinking of how to "move" this procedure from the VFP program to the SQL. Of course, if this is possible.
