Re: FORMS 4.5: how can I stop the BELL ????

You can always use the ON-ERROR trigger at form level to trap the messages that the users can ignore. Look up ERROR_TYPE, ERROR_CODE, and ERROR_TEXT in the manuals or online docs.

Plus, If you are using the MESSAGE command a lot, and you don't want the user to ever have to respond use the NO_ACKNOWLEDGE parameter.
