Can not access the Deleted System Table

I have a problem where I can not perform "Select * from Deleted" within
a trigger, but the problem occurs when I insert/update data from
Enterprise Manager ONLY. The trigger operates fine if I modify data in
Query Analyzer or through VBCode.
I finally found a workaround, modifying the select statement to "Select
* Into #deleted from Deleted", but am worried that will impact
performance on larger databases. I'm 99% certain it is just an access
issue somewhere, I just can't figure out where.
Any help y'all can suggest is appreciated.
Here is a snippet of the trigger:
CREATE trigger InsertUpdate_Table1
On Table1
For Update, Insert As
Declare @.Temp Int
Select * from Deleted
Select @.Temp = @.@.Rowcount
If @.Temp > 0
{rest of the code has been confirmed to work just fine}> Select * from Deleted
> Select @.Temp = @.@.Rowcount
So your trigger returns 2 resultsets? I can see how this would confuse EM
because special application code is needed to handle this situation.
This technique to get the number of updated rows is a bad practice for a
number of reasons. The proper way to get the number of updated rows is with
@.@.ROWCOUNT after the UPDATE statement rather in the trigger itself:
UPDATE dbo.Table1
SET MyColumn = 1
SELECT @.@.ROWCOUNT
Hope this helps.
