It might be helpful to know what your are trying to do in the trigger.

The trigger is part of the transaction that sent the data to the inserted or deleted tables. If it fails, it will rollback the whole transaction. If you are expecting the trigger to fail occasionally but not rollback the statement that casued the trigger to fire, then perhaps you need to rethink whether a trigger is the right thing to use.
