Don't have an account?
Suresh Raghuram On Contact Object there is a look up for the Account I had to validate on record type of the Account object .
I wrote the code as follows but it is giving compiler errror saying variable not exist
If(Accounts__r.RecordType.Name != 'Business')
Error Msg.
I did as below and it is working thanks for your help
if(contact.AccountId != null){
accRecordTypeId = [SELECT Id, Name, RecordTypeId FROM Account WHERE Id = :contact.AccountId].RecordTypeId;
rt = new RecordType();
rt = [SELECT Id, Name FROM RecordType WHERE SObjectType = 'Account' AND Name = 'Consumer'];
if(accRecordTypeId == rt.Id){
isValid = false;
ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'CAN NOT SELECT CONSUMER'));
}
}

I believe you must be doing validation in your trigger code. Fields using lookups doesn't come in Trigger automatically. You need to query them first and then user it.
I hope this helps.
I am trying this in a visual force page
Even in visualforce page, you have to first query that and then use it. Something like this.
Contact con=[select Id,Accounts__r.RecordType.Name from Contact where id =: <Id> ][0];
and then use it in if statement :
if(con.Accounts__r.RecordType.Name =='Business')
{
your code here
}
