POPUP ALERT

[meltingpot]

Hi .. here goes . Ive never written anything in VB . Im ASP and SQL.

My boss wants me to write an applcation that will popup on desktops to alert when a crieria has been reached in our database.

We input our boat positions everyday (tbl Positions.PostionDate )The alert needs to be triggered when the PositionDate is more than 24 hours old .

I guess the app will run in the background quering the Db every 30min or so - popup when the condition has been reached then close with an 'ok' button.

Could anybody give me a road map as how to do this .. or can anybody direct me to some who could do this for me.

Desktops are XPPro SP2 on a Win2003 domain. Im trying to work this out in Visual Studio 2008

Help would be great - IM STUCK ???
