Re: Is there a way in Forms 6 to have a trigger fire whan you mouse over a RECORD?

Thanks VERY MUCH for the reply.

First, I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.12.1 (Is that 6i? or 6.0?)

It WAS a multi-record block, I wanted to be able to select records from the database and display them like a web menu so that the user could mouse over and they would change color, then in a when-mouse-click trigger I would run the associated forms module.

I ended up changing them to each be a seperate item(one record each) and it seemed to work with this code:

when-mouse-enter

set_item_property(:system.trigger_item, visual_attribute, 'mouse_over');

when-mouse-leave

set_item_property(:system.trigger_item, visual_attribute, 'default_disp');

WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK Run_Product(FORMS, 'hardcoded_module_name.fmx', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,'NULL', NULL); [Quoted] BUT now, my mouse-enter triggers make the form exit!

ALL your help is appreciated. Does anything stick out as wrong here?
