Gyno writes "I was wondering if a trigger can be executed across Servers, if not how do you do it across databases within the same server. Here's my problem, I have 2 tables. One contains personnel info, for a application, and the other contains personnel info for another application. I need to keep them seperate, but when a person's name is changed in one app., I need it to change in the other apps. database. I need this to happen within SQL, not within the apps middle tier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated."

A trigger can update data in another server via linked servers and a fully qualified name (svr.db.owner.tbl).
But it means if there is a problem with the connection you can't update anything.
Better to put the update into a staging table and use a scheduled job to update.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
