Event triggers 1

[ShortyA]

Hi,
I am trying to run a report every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm (Mon-Sat only).

A text trigger file is created at 7am every morning (Mon-Sat) and deleted @ 19:15 (Mon-Sat). I have setup a report and scheduled it to run every 30 mins with events (the event uses the file created above).

The report runs once but then says it is waiting for the event in subsequent runs. Why is that ?
Thanks - Alec

For info I worked out what it was.

The event only recognise the trigger if the file has appeared. So when it was created at 7am it saw the new file, triggered the event and all was well. Thirty minutes later the event hadn't been triggered because the file was *still* there (ie its status hadn't changed). So I set the NT scheduler to run a batch file that created it every 20 mins and then deleted it after 5 minutes.
