I think I understand your idea. For each connection to the DB file I
assign an application a SESSION_ID. Each client application knows its
SESSION_ID. Each table of interest to me should have a SESSION_ID
column. Each change to the DB changes the session ID_column to the
SESSION _ID of the client making the change.

Each trigger I use issues two POST_EVENTs
POST_EVENT cast(new.SESSION_ID as varchar(16))
POST_EVENT 'EVENT_NAME'

Each form registers to listen for EVENT_NAME and SESSION_ID.asString.

As I only want to act on events I did not cause, whenever I get a
SESSION_ID event along with the 'EVENT_NAME' event, I ignore
the 'EVENT_NAME' event.

This would work for me after I addedd a new column to each table.

Thanks

Russell
