Cannot find sql express trigger in object explorer

2 New Member
Does anyone know why a trigger does not show in SQL Express object explorer? It does exist. I can find it a couple of different ways (VIEW sys.triggers)... and it is working but if I cannot see it how can I modify it?

Thank you

You can see the trigger's code if know its name, using:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. sp_helptext 'yourtriggername'
then modify it using:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ALTER TRIGGER...
or recreate it again:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DROP TRIGGER ...
  2. CREATE TRIGGER ...

I appreciate your reply. Your tips are useful, but...
I wonder why when you drill down to triggers for a database, they are not listed. This makes managment far more cumbersome. Why do triggers not display in the Object Browser?
Thank you

I checked in SQL 2005 Express, under /Tables/MyTable/Triggers and it correctly displays trigger objects.
I'm not sure , could it be a user rights problem?
