Displaying Updated Columns

[geo039]

I want to use a gridview in my asp.net app to just show changes to one field in an employee table. I have a history table trigger on all fields already for other reasons, however for this purpose i want to be able to show the user what the column said before and after the change.

I read up on the columns_updated function and it seems like it could work however It seems there would be an easier way than figuring out what the bitmask is on my 14 column table for a change on the 3rd column?

Any ideas.

Okay I think I already solved this using a stored procedure joining my employee table and employee history table.
