How do i debug triggers?

I've got an insert trigger but for some reason its failing - whats the best way to debug and get to the route of this problem?

THe problem i have is that i'm using SQL 2005s new INSERTED table and think it maybe related - but as a consequence i'm finding this very difficult to reproduce

>I've got an insert trigger but for some reason its failing
any error message(s) ? or does it simply "not work"?

trigger code? relevant table descriptions?
