Unless you're running 2008 the trigger and table approach is your best approach.

Like this:

CREATE TRIGGER Trg_name ON table
AFTER INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE
AS
BEGIN

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INSERTED)
AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT your fields 
FROM INSERTED i
END

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INSERTED)
AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED)
BEGIN
UPDATE t
SET t.field1=i.field1,t.field2=i.field2,...
FROM table2 t
INNER JOIN INSERTED i
ON i.FKCol=t.PKCol
END

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INSERTED)
AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED)
BEGIN
DELETE t 
FROM table2 t
INNER JOIN DELETED d
ON d.FKCol=t.PKCol
END

END
