[dba-SQLServer] trigger help

The table exists within the life time of the trigger. 

Try it using query analyser and see if it works. Its my birthday party now so if it dosnt work give me a shout and I will check in the morning.

U sure this isn’t  an sql express issue not a trigger issue?

    Have I misunderstood inserted, as a temp table then? I thought SQL Server
    created and used this table internally -- which  of course creates a problem
    if you try to create a trigger before SQL Server creates the table. In my
    case, I've already inserted records, so the table should exist, or at least.
    Does SS create and destroy the table for each insert? Or does it exist for
    the life of the db? 
    
    You created a table using the name inserted with the appropriate schema,
    created the trigger, and then deleted your table?

    I think I have got round similar problems by creating the table as a normal
    table, creating the trigger and saving it, then deleting the table.
