Re: Oracle Forms and Tables with a Multiple-field Primary Key... help!!!

Hi Dennis,

Two reasons for this error:
1) The row duplicates an existing value in the primary key. 2) It may contain a null value (or one of them) for the primary key.

You may use Help/Display Error from the menu to see the more detailed error.

Good Luck
