I am trying to create a trigger that fires after insert or update, but I only want the trigger to fire if certain fields are not null.

Is there an easy way to do something like

if SerialN and Brestlt And Boutcome <> Null from inserted
( Run Code )

depending on the code in your "Run Code" section:
It it is possible that some of the rows in inserted will have non-null values for those columns but other will have null values - and I think it must be possible - then you should join to the inserted table in your "Run Code" statements and include the not null condition there.

also not null check should be as Tara showed and you should not be using <>,> etc with NULL as under default settings(ANSI NULL) NULL is considered not as a value but just represents condition lack of value.
