Andy writes "Here's my situation:

I am running Win 2003, SQL Server 2000 SP3 Std.

I have 2 databases both with what I will call "user accounts" (one db is for my mail server, the other for my intranet.) I want to create a system (from what I gather, using triggers) so that when a new email account is created in the first db, a matching account is created in the second.(I would presume that would be one of triggers on the mail server db.)

Next, I need it so that an account for the intranet cannot be created without an account on the mail server ( I think I have a trigger written that works for this.)

Then I need either database to allow the password field in their respective tables to be updated and automatically update the other. The hard part I am running into is how do I make it so my ON UPDATE trigger only looks to see if the password field was updated and not any other field? Basically I am just trying to "simulate" a single sign on solution for my web systems. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated."

If you have two tables on two databases that you need to keep in sync, you should use replication.
