Hi,
I have a scenario where I have two list like below:
Products - id, name, desc,
customer - name, city, products --id
Now when I archive the Product row, I need to archive the customer row(s) corresponding to that product id.
How can I achieve the same using SharePoint designer workflow? Any idea will be greatly appericiated.
I do not know the answer :), but I would recommend Nintex Workflow (http://www.nintex.com/en-US/Products/Pages/Workflow2007.aspx) as it can update items in another list. You could solve this in few clicks.
I downloaded www.codeplex.com/spdactivites
It has this functionality.

@Laura: How does it work for you? I checked the codeplex site yesterday and saw a lot of complaints/comments... so I have not tried that and did not recommend it to shalinparmar :)
I found most of other activities to be to buggy to use.

I can't use the third-party tool because client are not installing anything in the WSS environment right now and we are not even allowed to write the code! So, I have to bear with SPD at the most. But I found a workaround with limitation!! :(
I am updating a flag in my customer list when I am archiving products and another workflow in customer list is sitting to wait for the flag to become true and it will archive the corresponding item in customers list.
However, SPD Update Item activity only allowes one(first) list item to be updated in matching rules and hence I can only update one... Is there any way I can update multiple items with multiple such rules??
