Is it possible to set up a trigger against an SQL Server database table - that would write a record to an Access database for example?
Or another database format?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If there is, I wouldn't recommend doing it. That would be a killer for your performance.

However, if you absolutely must use a trigger (rather than using a nightly DTS / SSIS / BCP job) to do it, your best bet is to used Linked Servers (look that term up in Books Online) to connect the servers and then use four dot notation (Server.Database.Owner.Table) to reference all the appropriate tables.
