How to restrict a particular type of record

Hi All,

 

I have records in contacts object which are having  two types of 'contact type' like 'CEO'  and 'Manager',

 

 

i don't want users to delete the contact records which are of  'CEO' , this can be achieved through trigger, but i want to show custom message in the page.

 

how can this achieved. 

 

thanks in advance.

Hi, I just coded a very similar example the other day... it throws a custom error message when a user attempts to approve a record without filling in some fields on the record first.  The error message is the part I wanted to share... try adding that line to your code and see what it looks like (should display at the top of the record).  Obviously, you will want a 'before delete' trigger type.

 

 

trigger questionnaireEnforcer on Deal_Registration__c (before Update) { for(Deal_Registration__c dr : Trigger.New){ // enforces that the questionnaire is populated before approval if(dr.approval_status__c.contains('Approved') && dr.Questionnaire_Completed__c=='No'){ dr.addError('You must complete the Internal Questionnaire in order to approve this record, to do this click \'Edit\' on the record.'); } } }

Of Course,

        You can add like

               contact.type.addError('You cant delete the Record');
