Re: Forms 4.5 Menu Processing...

Hi Al,
Thanks for input. But I am still having some problems. If I put the enter key in the Trigger executed by both the Toolbar button and Save menu item, and the when-validate-item trigger fails and raises an exception, the processing continues and invokes the next procedure.
The Trigger executed by both the toolbar button and menu item is as follows:
enter;
DoSaveAE;
The When-Validate-Item trigger on the item is as follows:
IF NOT ValidateName(:block.item_name) THEN
ShowMessage('Validation Failed.'); -- This is my function which
- displays the message.
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
In this case, if the even if ValidateName(:block.item_name) returns false and the message is displayed, the DoSaveAE procedure is called, even though I want the Trigger to fail and stop processing.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. I hope I hape explained the problem correctly. Please let me know if u need any more info.
Thanks,
VJ.
