updating two tables

[thomanjl]

Okay, here is my issue:
I have an access program that tracks the location of certain items.
When the items are moved their record will be added with transfer
information.

So, there are two tables: tblContents and tblTransfer

tblContents holds all the relevant information about each item as well
as a flag for transferred items and tblTransfer holds all the
transferred item information.

My problem is: How do I update tblTransfer when an item in tblContents
gets flagged true?

btw, this is using a .asp front end to interact with the database.

Define a trigger on tblContents, something like this:

create trigger trgTransfer on tblContents for insert, update as
insert into tblTriggers
select <list of fields>
from inserted
go

Since this is at the database level, it is completely independent
of the Access and .ASP layers.
