To my understanding, the message built-in with the ACKNOWLEDGE parameter means that in case Forms needs to show a new message it will ask you to acknowledge this one, otherwise it will just show it on the message line.

If you really want to show a modal window, use SHOW_ALERT. before SHOW_ALERT you might want to change the message text with:

---

SET_ALERT_PROPERTY(alert_name, ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, 'Cannot load'

                   ||justfile||', '||v_file_name||' already loaded!');

dummy := SHOW_ALERT(alert_name);

---

Hope this helps,
