morsborn How do I update many records in one go???
Hello
I am a newbie to salesforce coding and these forums so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place! I hope someone can help me out.
I recently implemented salesforce primarily to improve our case management process. A key requirement is to be able to monitor the time we have spent internally on a case vs the number of hours the customer has on their SLA and the corresponding time left i.e. SLA hours MINUS time spent so far. I downloaded a neat stop clock application from appXchange to provide a simple stop clock and it workw well. I have also figured out how to create the fields and everything is working to a point but....
Rather than have to go into each record and press save to trigger a field refresh, how can I update multiple records in one go?
Is there a simple bit of code that can run against a set of records and update a particular field? Do I need an S control - not really sure how to make one but someone suggested it would be a place to start?
I have struggled to find an answer to something I have found simple in other systems (in Lotus I used agents set to run on schedule for example).
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

When I go to the AppExchange and do a search on "Apex Data Loader", it shows two results.
IBM Information Server
AJAX Tools 1.4
Is it one of these?
Thank you.
