Want to find out the count of number of attachments
Hi All,
My requirement is on a custom page to set a "attachment present" field to Yes if there is any attachment exists or to No if no attachment exists .
in a way find the count of the attachments and set this filed value. Can i write a trigger on attachment object using force.IDE or is there any alternate way? Please suggest. The attachments will be uploaded using standard notes and attachment related list.
I can find some threads on the same but i want to cross check whether there is way to do this
Thanks in advance

I've done this in the past by using a trigger on the attachment object. When an attachment is created, I increment a counter field on the parent object, and when an attachment is deleted I decrement the count.
If you are in a custom page that is backed by an object instance, you should be able to do this via SOQL.
where recId is the id of the record being managed by the page.
Thanks a lot
