Re: Forms 4.5 - Alerts.....

Hello,

Maybe this function will help you. Before using this function define alert question.

FUNCTION QuestionBox (alert_txt VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN IS   al_id Alert;
  al_button Number;
BEGIN
  al_id := Find_Alert('QUESTION');
  Set_Alert_Property(al_id, alert_message_text, alert_txt );   al_button := Show_Alert( al_id );
  if al_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 then
    return TRUE;
  else
    return FALSE;
  end if;
END; Regards,
Wojtek
