Please, could you take that again, and more slowly this time? Keep in
mind that people reading this newsgroup does not know about your system.

You are missing data but where? You appear to extract data with BCP, do
you load it anywhere else?

One thing I can note:

The BCP query has a condition on the column UpdatePass which is not
set in the trigger. So from what you have posted, I would not expect
anything at all to go in the BCP file.
