>>The error (which is logged) does not seem to fire. But is it possible that the TABLEUPDATE() takes "time" (a second or two or more) to actually update the SQL Server. And therefore, the second user's TABLEUPDATE() overwrites the first one? If this is the case, how do I "force" the tableupdate to be faster? Or any other suggestions to deal with this situation?

No, there is no insert trigger on this table. Why would it be necessary?
