I'm working with Oracle 7.0.16, and Forms 4.0.12. I would like to force a user to enter a record if a FK in 2nd table can not be found via a LOV lookup. I don't want to lock it down to the LOV from the 2nd table, but if a new value is being entered, I would like to create a record in that table.

	Table AA			Table BB
	--------			--------
	.				User_id		char(20)
	.				Name
	User_id		char(10)	Address
	Amount of Sale	char(20)	.
	.				.
	.				.
	.

User_id field has a LOV which lists the User_id, and Name from Table BB. If a new entry is being put in Table AA, I would like to force the user to enter the corresponding fields in table BB. I have tried to look for a built-in trigger that would check the result of a select statement at the time of commit on Table AA with no luck. I was very suprised not to find any check_return_of_function trigger.... or such.
