ok, so make a call there, or start a thread or whatever you like. so what's the question?
>> Is it possible to put a "timer event" on the server side procedure to monitor for a trigger?
>> How do I pass a value from a session variable to the server side "timer event" to trigger the event?
sounds to me like you're trying to make something really simply into something really complicated. why not just call the procedure from the Post-Insert embed point? Start a thread even if it's gonna take a long time.
