Trigger to Count Attachments

Does anyone have a sample trigger that counts attachments that they could share? 

 

Thanks!!!

One cannot write trigger on the "notes and Attachment" object as salesforce has not exposed them for trigger manipulation. do you want to want to calculate just the number of attachment per record or you want to store the count too somewhere after calculation?

In either case an invivble vf page on the layout could do the needful.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

I need to find out how many attachments are on each record... I am making some changes to my structure and merging two objects together.... I want to make sure that I move all of the attachments to the new record... Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi,

 

  can i have the trigger to count the number of attachments on a record. And can i display this count in any custom field on the same Object or a parent object. I need to get the latest attachments on a record.

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks for responding!!!  I want to write the number of attachments to another field on the record.  What I really want to do is set up a requirement that certain attachments are on the group before allowing a submission.  Perhaps a VF page with a section for each required attachment would work.? thanks!!
