how do you get a trigger to email me or notify me when say a count of something does not match a count of some thing else, I am using web services to transfer records from one db to another db (some distance away) trouble is the web services don't always transfer so i need a way of counting like for like ...ie 43 recodrs here 43 record there...using SP's for inserts and triggers for counting

I highly recommend you do NOT use the trigger to directly send the e-mail. The scope of the trigger should be limited to the database itself.
Instead, use the trigger to populate a table with a queue of messages to be delivered. Then use a scheduled job to check the table for new messages and send the appropriate e-mails.
