Data/Table Last Accessed/Modified

Is anyone aware of a method of determining when a table was last modified or accessed?

Some of our databases have tables that I am sure are not being used and I would like to generate a list of tables that have not been accessed or modified for some period of time.

I looked for a system procedure but didn't see anything that satisfied my need.

Currently I rename suspect tables and wait for someone or some process to gripe, but I don't care for that method for obvious reasons.

Thanks!again .. r u talking about the data or the object?
check what brett says here:

This is when I wish that the design team had left the SELECT triggers in place, although that could have been a nightmare too!
