Trigger: updating a related object

Hi all,

Looking to write a trigger, but i dont really know where to start!
I have an object called AffordabilityResults__c which has a lookup to the opportunity object. I need to update a field on the opportunity called PSDIncome__c with the value from the TotalGrossIncome__c on the AffordabilityResults__c object each time an affordability results record is created or updated. Any ideas where to start?

Thanks

Matt

You should create an after insert/after update trigger on AffordabilityResults__c and pull in the opportunity field PSDIncome__c using SOQL and name of the opportunity entered in AffordabilityResults__c  when inserting/updating and overwrite its value with the value entered in TotalGrossIncome__c field on  AffordabilityResults__c
