On pressing F2 in a form we go to query mode(if it has database block)�and the default message "enter query ; F5 to execute ; F4 to exit " appears

My problem is that I want some other message like "enter name "

while user presses F2 to query the form .

how to do it?

please help as soon as possible .

Its urgent

I shall be highly grateful.

regards

i havent tried out but i can give you some hints to probably solve it.

try to change the system message level (see forms help F1 about system.message_level)
while changing the level, try to enter query with f2 and see if you still see the message at bottom of window.
keep changing the level till you dont see the message.
if you succeed, you put message('enter name'); e.g. in enter-query-trigger to show youre message at the console window.

thats all.

Well, I've not tried to suppress that particular message, but you could try using an on-message trigger to catch it.

Hi,
All thse message are stored in FMFUS.MSB(If NLS language is American) else in similar sort of files named FMXXXX.MSB, so you cannot change them.

To overcome your problem simply put whatever mesage you need to add Just before the Statement ENTER_QUERY in your Key-entqry trigger.

Domingo,
I asked you to write a Message text and not to set the Hint property.
You simply need to write:
Begin
Message('Please enter Empid',No_Acknowledge);
Enter_query;
End;
