Herb, Assuming that you have a unique linking column between A and B, this sounds like a perfect application of a trigger.
Is there a one-to-one correspondence between the two tables, or a one-to-many correspondence. Are rows being added, deleted, and updated in A, and in each case, what should happen to tableB.invdate? Are you loading new rows in tableB, or just updating a date in tableB? If tableA.invdate be changed to a null? If so what would happen to tableB.invdate? Give a few more details so we can help you set up an update trigger, and maybe an insert trigger and delete trigger.
