Thanks for pointing out my sever idiocy... I was not paying attention to the code in the book... the SELECT portion of that trigger should have been

"

SELECT [ProductID]

,[Name]

,[ProductNumber]

,[MakeFlag]

,[FinishedGoodsFlag]

,[Color]

,[SafetyStockLevel]

,[ReorderPoint]

,[StandardCost]

,[ListPrice]

,[Size]

,[SizeUnitMeasureCode]

,[WeightUnitMeasureCode]

,[Weight]

,[DaysToManufacture]

,[ProductLine]

,[Class]

,[Style]

,[ProductSubcategoryID]

,[ProductModelID]

,[SellStartDate]

,[SellEndDate]

,[DiscontinuedDate]

,[rowguid]

,GetDate()

,'I'

,USER_NAME()

FROM INSERTED

"

thanks for point out to me that I was not paying attention.

Have a great day!
