The concat null thing is supposed to go away in a future version of SQL. IsNull (or Coalesce) is definitely better.

Any way to consolidate the two?
If not, I'd need to see the code for the tables (create scripts), and the code for the trigger. With that, I might be...

What you say is that a good developer will normally be an OK TSQL programmer. That is sort of what I mean. I would agree that some...

You're welcome.
We all have to start somewhere.

Are you moving a specific table, or a whole database, or part of a table, or multiple tables? Will you be doing this once, or repeatedly? Are you...

If you set the e-mail type as HTML, you can do something like this:
declare @Body varchar(max);

Set up a VM with a copy of the databases that they need access to. Set the databases there in read-only mode. Give them full access.
