trigger

Is it possible to create a trigger on a field within a table being updated?

So if I have:

TableA
  Field1
  Field2
  ....

I want to update a certain value when Field1 is changed. In this instance, I want to update Field2 when Field1 is updated, but don't want to have that change cause another trigger invocation, etc...
