email notification of updated page

[andre]

Hi,

I have set up an Intranet to share information with other
users which is updated regularly. I wanted to find out if
there is a way to send an email notification to the users
of that Intranet about a page that has been updated??

That way I do not have to keep emailing them every time
the page is updated.

Please help and many thanks!

You would have to write an application to do this. More than likely, you
would write a Service that monitors the file system inside your web for
changes, and then sends an email when one is detected.

Kevin,

How hard would it be to create that program?? Could I use
Visual Basic?? I have never used it before, I might add.
What do you suggest I do?

Thanks for the prompt response.

I can't tell you how hard it would be - that depends on your programming
skills. Could you do it with Visual Basic? Yes.

My opinion on your question "what do you think I should
do": with the skill level you inputs imply, I would
strongly suggest to hire someone with the skills set
required for the programming task.
