Insert Trigger sometimes not firing

hi all

i have an issue with an insert trigger sometimes not firing.

here is the trigger

CREATE TRIGGER Insert_tPABillToAddr ON [dbo].[tPA00175]
FOR INSERT
AS

INSERT into tPABillToAddr
(
chrJobNumber
)

SELECT chrJobNumber
FROM inserted

when the user enters a new this table is to insert one column into another table. the thing is, sometimes it does not do the insert. any ideas as to why? it is a very uncommon thing, lets say once out of every 20 inserts does it fail. but it is crucial that it never fails.

thanksYou can be sure the trigger is firing.
Are you sure the insert is occurring? Add a few more lines to the trigger so that data is also inserted into a log table indicating the datetime, login, and chrJobNumber of each insert.
Keep in mind that your trigger will not fire for updates that may modify an existing chrJobNumber value.|||what would be a probable cause for it not to fire? this is just an insert...i have no updates associated with it.|||While I've investigated a few cases where people thought that triggers didn't fire, I've only seen one or two cases in SQL 4.2 and SQL 6.0 where there were actually cases where a trigger should have fired, but didn't. Those were bugs in the database engine itself.

I haven't seen that happen since the release of SQL 6.5.

-PatP|||what if you have more than 1 insert trigger...lets say the other, for whatever reason doesnt fire, does it cause this one to cease as well?
