Unfortunately developing quality training is a highly time consuming process and not, of itself, productive of revenue, so it's something bean counters tend to frown upon. It takes about 40 hours to produce one hour of good instructor-led training, about 60 hours for self-paced training, and somewhe...

Welcome aboard.

Probably the easiest solution is to create a routine that passes the value through unaltered, but invokes DSSendMail() - conditionally perhaps - when it's invoked.
