Hi Piotr,

I am normally using the WHEN_NEW_BLOCK_INSTANCE-Trigger. But using the PRE_FORM-trigger will also meet your demands.

But regarding this error message:
Check the query that populates the Record Group. Most likely the error source is located there!

Have a look into the "Oracle Developer 2000 Forms4.5 Reference Manual Volume 1" to find a detailed description of all the triggers available.
