Simon, I cannot directly answer your question because I have always avoided using the rowid for _anything_. There's no guarantee that a given row will always have the same position in the set, so all the SQL experts I've read advise against using it. Can you assign a unique identifier to each row as the primary key? If so, use that in the trigger.
