Create table PaymentMethods(
PaymentMethodID int Primary Key,
Description not null
)
The Descriotion is either cheque, cash or CreditCard.

Create table Payments(
PaymentID int Primary Key,
PaymentMenthodID int Constraint cfkPay Foreign Key References (#above) not null,
CreditCardNo varchar(20), CardHoldersName varchar(50),
ExpDate datetime,PaymentAmount money
)
If the descriotion is creditcard, its details in the Payments table should be entered, if not the creditcard details should be left blank.

You don't need a trigger for this. You need a CHECK CONSTRAINT.
