Hi Neetu,
               I have wrote the trigger and it is preventing the new task insertion if the no longer with the firm check box is checked in contact .
               Now the trigger is working ,but when we click on the save button , it is showing the error which i have written in the trigger,Can we                        redirect from the task page to contact record page by writing any logic in the trigger??
             
                 My trigger is 

                     Trigger TaskInsertPrevention on Task(before insert)
         { 
                  Set<Id> taskSetId = new Set<Id>(); 
                  for(Task task :Trigger.New)
                     {
                          String s1 =task.WhoId;
                          if(s1.startsWith('003e'))
                              {
                                taskSetId.add(task.WhoId);
                               }
          
                   for(Contact  con :[Select Id , Contact.No_longer_with_firm__c  from  Contact where Id In : taskSetID])
                         {
                    if(con.No_longer_with_firm__c == True)
                         {
                        task.addError('You cannot create a new task if the contact is no longer with the firm');
                         }
                          }
                      }
          }

Hi,

Yes this is what I want to explain you that where you are creating task (I guess trigger), there only you can put the check that if Contact is no longer with firm, don't insert task.

You cannot prevent by the above trigger you specified, it will always throw error.

Thanks,

Hi Neetu ,

Thanks,
