Re: trigger question

Morning Tony,

Hmm, seems I'm a bit thicker than at first thought! When I wrote this originally :

exception
 when dup_entry_exception then
  raise_application_error(-20000,
   NULL; I really meant this :

exception
 when dup_entry_exception then

     NULL; This version causes the duplicate to be ignored. However, as dicovered by malcolm, this would allow the duplicate row to be inserted and is no use to you !

More apologies !

Cheers,
Norman.
