I'm putting together a standalone Access application for project tracking. Many of the users of the application would like some sort of notification of certain events entered into the system.

Is there some sort of system tray application, or an easy way to write one (VB?) that could poll an Access database based on a SQL command to display this notification? I've found some ActiveX controls for the system tray notification. I'm just not sure what's involved with polling the MDB file.
