Howdy...

I'm sure this will seem really silly, but I honestly don't understand the mechanics of the following...

I have a SQL Server Database and a VFP front-end. Let's say I have a table called MYTABLE, and a user may wish to change a reason code. I want to automatically set fields in MYTABLE called LASTUPDATE and LASTUSER when the reason code (or anything else) changes. I know this is what triggers are for...in this case, LASTUPDATE and LASTUSER get set when MYTABLE is touched...but I'm not sure how I 'activate' the trigger [if I'm even asking this correctly] such that when I do an UPDATE on a reason code, the trigger automatically fires.

In other words, I know how to write all the code, but don't understand how to call it [is it two pass-through calls or just one?], keeping in mind that there may be 10 other types of updates to this file that will require calling the trigger to set LASTUPDATE and LASTUSER.

Thanks,
Kevin
