Hi!

You tried to turn around all working with data. Trigger is database part, so it should never do something with the client part. As opposite, Client part only should show data from database part.

In your case, you should make a code in your form or edit box to update self. How you will know that some account is zero? Query to database. If you want to show this immediately to user, you can do this by timer each second. The scenario looks like following:

Other users work with database and update data. Your form contains timer. In the Timer event you query database and check if special account contains zero (or whatever). If yes - assign something to the editbox.value property. If no - clear editbox (if needed).

If query to database too complex or will last too long, you can eitehr adjust timer to fire using longer time frames (say, 5 seconds). Another solution - in the trigger switch on some special flag or add special record to ther system table (messaging table) and at the client application query only that flag or that special table.

HTH.
