That code is executing every time there is an update, because you have no conditional flow preventing it from executing sometimes. If you want to only execute that given a certain condition, you'll need to wrap it in an IF block.
OK you are very much in trouble with triggers. First you need to show the actual create trigger code. I suspect you don't have it set correctly to only fire on insert.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
