Re: ASK FOR COMMIT BEFORE LEAVING A RECORD INSTANCE.

Forms 4.5 runs a default alert message whenever you change focus, depending the form validation unit.
By example if you specify validation unit as record an alert will be displayed every time you navigate from a changed record to another.

I suggest you trap post-record event:

Assume you create an Alert COMMIT_ALERT with button 1 YES and button2 NO.

TRIGGER POST-RECORD: (at form level if available for any record)

• Get leaving record status
• QUERY means no changes and NEW means records has just been created and will be canceled if you leave it
• CHANGED means you modify a queried record
• INSERT means you enter values in a a just created record

  if :system.record_status in ('CHANGED','INSERT')   then
    answer := Show_Alert('COMMIT_ALERT');     if answer := ALERT_BUTTON2
    then
[Quoted]       raise form_trigger_failure; -- Cause navigation failure;    end if;
 end if;
end;

• BEWARE: post_record trigger is only fire if form's validation unit is item or record ! ***

Well, I hope this will help you.
