    Wayne,

    Wow, good job investigating system tables/views and triggers! (although I did not expect you to drop everything to do it - - I was just reply to your question.)

    Your testing is much appreciated.

    Finished the 2005 attempt: fail with the following message:

    Msg 8197, Level 16, State 6, Procedure tr_syscolumns, Line 1

    Object '_syscolumns' does not exist or is invalid for this operation.

    Got the same error before trying to slide past it with view.

    It seems to me that it should be possible. I glanced at this article[/url] here on SSC, so maybe it's possible, perhaps I just need to work at it a bit more.

    😀
