Didn't Forms Help tackle this one for you? You are saying you want to EXECUTE a TRIGGER, have you tried EXECUTE_TRIGGER(trigger_name)?

Perhaps yet another solution ... you could put the code (which now makes the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger) into the procedure and call it a) from the trigger, b) programatically when needed.

Even better, Littlefoot! I always try to have as little code as possible in the trigger body.

Use EXECUTE_TRIGGER('trigger name');
Mind one thing that if some how error comes up in trigger still the next statements after execute_trigger will get fired .
So after execute_trigger trap error using form_success built in

Thanks
