| Actually I don't think you'll be able to do this in a trigger. If I understand what you want to do correctly, to once a day run through and update the approved column based on the date compared with ExpiryDate. I would set up a stored procedure to do this and the schedule this in a job to run once a day or more if needed. |

| Well...the trigger will fire on either an insert, update or a deleteIf you want to run the process once a day, you need to set up a stored procedure and a scheduled job.Brett8-) |
