Update triggers and 556

Excuse the newbie-ness here, this is my first real encounter with triggers. I sure hope its a newbie question and not one that's going to make me spend weeks trying to figure it out. She's headed off on vacation for three weeks and will come back with an empty head - it would be nice to have the pat solution installed. A cow-orker has been trying to get an update trigger to work. The companion INSERT trigger works, but the UPDATE trigger comes back with a -556 'cannot create or modify an object on a remote database'. I've tried a number of things, creating the trigger on the source database and putting the SPL she executes on the remote - same problem. I've also tried the update by remote (connect to source and from SQL update databases@server:table ... - same error. I know this sort of thing works because she has copied code from a working trigger just like it which works fine. Both databases are logging databases. On-line 7.10 engine. Any thoughts? adv(thanks)ance cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _____________________________________________________________________________ Lysdexics Untie! _____________________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _____________________________________________________________________________
