I have modified an existing form which is from 4 tables. I altered one of the table to suit my requirement and have compiled the form . It is compiled with out any errors. But when i enter any data it shows an error "frm-40509 --Unable to update record" and does not gets saved.

Could some one let me know what would be the problem

What did you change in the table? Did you make something 'not nullable'? Just because you recompiled the form doesn't mean that the characteristics of the item in the form have been changed. The database characteristics are only used during the initial build of the item/block/form.

Perhaps you could also go to Help menu - Display Error and see what really caused that error.

hi,

i did see the help and it says that contact your DBA and the full rights might have not be given to me.

I wish to say that there are no DBA in our office and have full rights and we do all the work ourselves with the help of friends and other sources.

i did add 3 column to the existing table and none are "not nullable"

Are you receiving any other error messages? Did you do a Ctrl-Shft-k (Compiel all) and a Ctrl-t (generate) to your form?

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I was thinking about the error you saw when you chose Help - Display Error. It was, probably, something like "UPDATE table_name SET ..." along with, for example, "ORA-001400".

But, *something* is responsible for "ORACLE error: unable to UPDATE record.".

I think you are mis-understanding Littlefoot.
We're not interested in what form builder help says, we know what it says.
Do the following:
1) Run the form.
2) Update a record.
3) When you get the FRM-40509 click on help in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
4) Select display error from the drop down menu.
5) A pop-up window will appear with the update statement forms issued to the DB along with an error message.
6) Copy and paste the contents of that pop-up window here.
