Richard,
In a windows environment there are a couple of different ways you could go.
1. You could write a windows service using the .net language of your choice
to poll the database and send an email for you. 2. You could write a script
to check the database and set up a scheduled task (similar to a cron job) to
run the script at a specified interval.
I'm sure there are other options available, but these two are probably the
most straight forward.
HTH,
Kevin

In BSD/Linux systems this is strait forward. Does Windows have any features
similar to a cron
daemon? I assume that DOS can be used as scripting language. :-/
