Help On Trigger

Hi,

I am using the following trigger but it seems to do the second update and not the first update.


CREATE TRIGGER [PREPSTATUSCOMPLETE] ON [dbo].[PrepLog]
FOR UPDATE
AS
IF EXISTS(SELECT FINISHTIME FROM PREPLOG WHERE FINISHTIME = '---')
UPDATE RMJOB
SET PSTATUS = 'PREPPING' FROM RMJOB,PREPLOG WHERE PREPLOG.FINISHTIME = '---'
AND RMJOB.RMJOBID = PREPLOG.RMJOBID

IF EXISTS(SELECT FINISHTIME FROM PREPLOG WHERE FINISHTIME != '---')
UPDATE RMJOB
SET PSTATUS = 'PREPPING COMPLETE' FROM RMJOB,PREPLOG WHERE PREPLOG.FINISHTIME != '---'
AND RMJOB.RMJOBID = PREPLOG.RMJOBID


The statement in bold is first update which does not get triggered but the second update gets triggered as soon as the if condition is meant.

Can somebody please help me on this?

Aash.
