Message to indicate password expired [message #390738]

How do I go about indicating to the user that their password has already expired/locked when they attempt to log onto the application.

Currently if their password has expired/locked there are no messages displayed indicating same.

Thanks

Is this password an actual oracle password (you can use it in sqlplus), or an application password that you've got stashed in a table somewhere?

Well as far as I'm aware oracle forms should report that error message.
So presumably there is some code in your form that's swallowing the error.
Do you have any on-error triggers / exception handlers?

There is an ON-ERROR trigger in the form and it does not trap the ORA-28000 error. I have now included code to check the ERROR_CODE and if it is 28000 to display a message and log off the form.

Thanks for your help.
