Triggered action on update, checking on similar records with status 'active' and update other table.

[Gilmay]

This is what I try to accomplish.  

A triggered action on update of the 'members' table, checks the same table ('members') for records having :

- the same e-mail address
- the status 'active'

If any record with the same e-mail address 'AND' status='active' is found, nothing has to be done.  If no records are found having both conditions true, the status in a second table 'Accounts' needs to be set to false.

In short: I want to disable the account when no more members with the same e-mail address are active.

Thank you for any input.

Hi @Gilmay,

You may want to check the trigger from this forum thread:

I found my solution by using a variable.

First set the variable 'ActiveMembers' to 'False'.  Then check every record in my 'Members' table and if any record found that meets all requirements (= active member), set the variable to 'True'.

After that I check the 'ActiveMembers' variable and when still being "False", updated the 'Accounts' table accordingly to deactivate the related account.
