SQL2000: Disable Trigger Not Allowed In Tables That Involved In Publication.

We have setup a replication in SQL2000:

We have DTS package automatically pouring data into the publishing database(source tables). During this process, we want to temporary disable certain triggers. However, the command

Alter table 'tbl' disable trigger 'abc' errored out. The error message said:

''Cannot alter the table 'tbl' because it is being published for replication."

I've digged more into this and found although it's not allowed to disable a triggers,

the SQLServer do allow delete the trigger and recreate them.

Is there any way to disable the trigger directly?

Thanks in advance,

Don



BTW:

I've used the following sql directly, however the trigger still fires.

UPDATE
sysobjects
SET
status = status|2048
WHERE
type = 'TR'
AND
parent_obj = OBJECT_ID (@table_name)



The only other way around now is to create stored procedures that dynamically create the trigger. Because our trigger is normmally larger than 8000 bytes. We have to create one stored procedure per trigger. This option is not acceptable because not only it takes quite a time, but also a maintainance nightmare.
