Question about Email notifications and workflow rules.

Hi, I have set up some email notifications these notifications are going out fine as long as the previous rule hasnt been met. I would like to send out the notification any time the field is changed. Example

 

I have a field for Required number of contacts a account can have, At the moment (with the evaluation criteria we can pick out of) it seems like I can only send a notification when this field is originally incremented from zero to a number. I would like this email to send out regardless of the previous value of the number, but i don't want it sent out when just anything on the form is changed.

 

so i guess my question is in short, How do you set up a email notification to send out any time a particular field is edited?

Change the criteria of your workflow rule to a Formula criteria and set it to be ISCHANGED(MyField).  Set the workflow to run whenever an object is created or edited.  Then put an email alert on that workflow.
