I want to make a field in a table contain numbers that increment each time a record is updated. How would I go about doing this? Example: Table1 CustID balance A12 255.32 B20 132.20 Table2 CustID transactions A12 7 B20 33 Every time something is inserted or updated in table1 I want to increment that customer's number of transactions in table2. How would I go about doing this?
