ie ..when a insert or update occurs on table1 @a value has to be stored in col1 and so on ...

hmmm, so for the data you provided, what would you expect the outcome to be?
ASKER

For the Year to date question:
If a set of sales occured before 1/1/2008, then it would not be part of this year to date sales, would it?
so for all sales done between 1/1/2008 and 31/12/2008 i need a total?
the data would move to this field in another table ULYRSALES field when the System date turned past 1/1/2009 etc using trigger........
