Thanks that is what I was looking for, I was just looking in the ALTER TRIGGER section of the BOL, not the ALTER TABLE.

NOTE: You can also do it with straight SQL: ALTER TABLE yourtable DISABLE TRIGGER yourknowntrigger Here is the UDF =========== IF (OBJECT_ID ('dbo.GetTriggerStatus') IS NOT NULL) DROP FUNCTION dbo.GetTriggerStatus GO CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTriggerStatus (@tcTableName SYSNAME) RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN ( SELECT name, status = CASE WHEN OBJECTPROPERTY (id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') = 0 THEN 'Enabled' ELSE 'Disabled' END, owner = OBJECT_NAME (parent_obj) FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'TR' AND parent_obj = CASE WHEN @tcTableName IS NULL THEN parent_obj ELSE OBJECT_ID (@tcTableName) END ) GO and can be called thus; SELECT * FROM dbo.GetTriggerStatus ('yourtable') -- or table name can be Null.
