Actions:

Hi Wayne,

I think you may need to elobarate your requirement.
Any way let me give you a general idea.

Since you need to do an update on the Account you can opt for the Workflow. I dont know what forcing you to go with the trigger.
You may be know this if some thing can not be done using workflow then opt for the trigger.

you can follow this link for an example for your scenario
