Hi Arun,

Please find your required trigger code below: 
trigger updateOwner on Contact(before insert, before update){
	Set<Id> accIds = new Set<Id>();
	for(Contact con : trigger.new){
		if(con.AccountId != null){
			accIds.add(con.AccountId);
		}
	}
	
	Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select A__c, AccountNumber__c from Account where Id IN :accIds]);
	
	for(Contact con : trigger.new){
		if(con.AccountId != null && mapOfAccounts.containsKey(con.AccountId) && con.AccountNumber__c == mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).AccountNumber__c){
			con.OwnerId = mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).A__c;
		}
	}
}

Hi Arun,

Is there any error in the code ? I have just provided you the code that will nearly achieve your requirement, if it is not working then you should do some kind of debugging and find out at what extent this code is working for you. Let me know if you need any other help.

Thanks,

Hi Arun,

What is the type of the field A__c ?

Thanks,

It is text field
 
Abhishek BansalAbhishek Bansal
How can we set a text field value in the ownerId field and if A__c is a text field and conatins the name of the User then there are chances that two users have same name so which user will you set as Owner on contact. Please store the user value in a lookup field that points to a particular user and then use this field to set owner on the contact.

Thanks.

yes Abhishek you are right...

If it is A__c is look up data type it will work with your code..

Thank so much Abhishek for your time.
