If you use SQL Server table triggers, you don't 'activate' them. They automatically run.

You could as well, trap this situation in the save method business object and update the values accordingly.

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.
