is it possible to get a trigger to fire before other constraints like NULL/NOT NULL and Foreign keys?

I want trigger to replace a value to satisfy constraints but it never gets the chance to fire.

Only with an 'instead of' trigger.
Are they available in v7?

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

available in SQL2000 with compatibility set to 7 at least.

although once I change the value in the trigger, whole thing fails "someone else changed/deleted the record".

bah.

Access the database via stored procs and all your problems will suddenly disappear.
