• using COLUMNS_UPDATED, you can't, i guess you'd have to write your trigger to do each column individually, if that's what you wanted to do:

    IF (UPDATE(DESCRIP) )

    BEGIN

    [same code example]

    END

    IF (UPDATE(COLUMN2) )

    BEGIN

    [same code example, just change the column names]

    END

    IF (UPDATE(COLUMN3) )

    BEGIN

    [same code example, just change the column names]

    END

    IF (UPDATE(COLUMN4) )

    BEGIN

    [same code example, just change the column names]

    END

    i would think it is easier to simply capture all the changes,and compare on demand for specific queiitons.
