Hi,

 

Try this out:

 

 

trigger Trigger1 on Case (after insert) 
{
 	set<id>  acc_ids = new set<id>();
 	public String caseid{get;set;}
        for (case c : trigger.new){
            acc_ids.add(c.accountid);
            caseid = c.Id;
        }    
        list<Account> acct_to_update = [select id,case__c from account where id in :acc_ids];
        for (account acc: acct_to_update){
            acc.case__c = caseid;
        }        
        update acct_to_update;    
}

 But I wanted to clarify, is this a bulk enabled trigger?

If yes, whout should happen if the same accountId is associated with various cases???

 

Can you explain the scenario and purpose of your trigger??

 

I just hope, this is what you were looking out for.

Correct me If I am wrong in understanding your Scenario. From my understanding if you are trying to update the field on the Account object after the case is inserted try the following code

 

trigger updateAccountWithCase on Case (after insert) {   
    public Id caseId;
    public Id aId;
    for(Case c : Trigger.new){
        caseId = c.Id; //get the case Id of the new inserted record
    }
    List<Case> cList = [select Account__c from case where Id =:caseId];
    for(Case accCase : cList){
        aId = accCase.Account__c; //get the account Id of the new case
    }
    List<Account> acc = [select Id from Account where Id=:aId];
    for(Account a : acc){
        //update the field you wish to update on the Account object for example a.<fieldname> = <some value>
        update a;
    }
}

 

 

Hope this help you..........
