Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to trigger a CRM workflow via an external event. E.G. File on sever is updated, or a record added to a SQL table?
Thanks

I suggest you to use supported methods for data adding/updating/deleting in Microsoft CRM. In this way you can create workflows or plugins which will trigger on events in system.
You can run a wf with Javascript. On this article you can find it : http://www.cub-e.net/post/Use-JavaScript-executecalllaunch-Dynamics-CRM-40-Workflow.aspx
Also you can try this method without javascript:
[C#]// Set up the CRM Service.CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();// You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.token.AuthenticationType = 0; token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";CrmService service = new CrmService();service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;// Create an ExecuteWorkflow request.ExecuteWorkflowRequest request = new ExecuteWorkflowRequest();//Assign the ID of the workflow you want to execute to the request. request.WorkflowId = new Guid("b050f053-6968-dc11-bb3a-0003ffbad37a");//Assign the ID of the entity to execute the workflow on to the request.request.EntityId = new Guid("1DCDEE97-35BB-44BE-8353-58BC36592656");// Execute the workflow.ExecuteWorkflowResponse response = (ExecuteWorkflowResponse)service.Execute(request);
