Re: Forms 5.0 Error Trapping

Ken,

You can in fact use the ON-ERROR trigger to capture errors. Another alternative is to add an EXCEPTION clause at the end of any trigger at which point you can trap whatever errors you choose. Remember, if you add an EXCEPTION clause, you must start with BEGIN.

Hope this is helpful.......
