hi everyone,
I have a module in FORMS6i .
In that form when a user runs it user will get a drop down list(popup/combo list) and when the user select any value from the list then all the data filled in their corresponding fields.

(list is populted on the trigger ---- when-new-block-instance)

The item on which the list is populated is "primary key".
now when i changed any value after selecting any value from the list i got two errors:

1. list cann't be populated ( even the list available at there)
2. ora-00001 (primary constraint error)

i think second error is generated because oracle tries to insert a new record of the same selected value ,which violate the constraint.

but actually i don't want to insert the new record.
i want to update the data of that particular selected value.

how to change the form in "changed" mode by which the value get update and the list still populated.

Create your list, use 'enter_query' to go into 'query' mode, use the list (via a 'show_lov' command) to populate your search term, then use 'execute_query' to gets its details back from the database. Then when you update the information you will be working on the database copy, not a new copy of existing data.
