  I am very new to SQL Server 2000. I have created a database and would like to put a column in one of my tables telling me the date it was modified.

  Can anyone help me

  Thank you

  SO you are saying if the table itself is modified is what you want to know? There are many threads in the forum on this and the first thing some say is put a trigger on the systems tables could do this but I would say that is bad to do and you cannot guarantee an SP won't overwrite. You need to get people to document changes or not let them make them.
