codeword Updating fields
Hi Everyone. I'm fairly new to Apex and am seeking your help in a simple situation:
We have a recruiting application, which has some custom objects such as
-Job (which is a listings of jobs)
-Tracking (which is an object that creates a "tracking" record related to a single job. ie. one person who has applied to 3 jobs (has 3 diff tracking records) The tracking object has master relationship with Contact.
-Expense (this has a master relationship with job)
What I'm trying to do with Apex, is create a field on the Job record (Total Applicants) that sums up how many Tracking records there are (within the related list).
Please provide any insight on how I should approach this. (apex / triggers / etc). Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you!

I had to mass remap thousands of tracking records that did not have any job associated with it. Now that's all set, it's working. And it goes both ways so I can see how many times a certain contact has applied for our different jobs.
Thanks again chief!
