I have the following code installed on my database. Create Trigger CFXSOUpdate On SalesOrder For Update AS If Update(SOM_DefaultRequiredDate) or Update(SOM_DefaultShipMethod) Declare @Body varchar (100) Set @Body= 'The Required Date or Ship Method has been changed' Exec master..xp_sendmail @recipients = 'ARaedeke@Tri-Optic.com', @subject = 'Sales Order Change', @message = '@Body' The trigger fires when the fields are updated, but the email message only has the word @body in it. No sign of the message I intend to send. Thanks for the help, Arlin
