I was wondering if it was possible to find out whether a table has been updated in Sql Server 2000? Does Sql Server keep logs of changes (add, delete, or changed/updated) records? If so, what system tables or stored procedures could I use to look up the changes? Thanks.

You would need to log the data yourself via a trigger or purchase a third party tool to read the transaction log.

I have used APEX SQL in the past. I can verify it will show you wat the tlogs say in SQL code.

I believe there was a free trial at the time.

Red Gate and Lumigent have log readers. They are not free.
