developer 2000 detail block foreign key

Hi Guys...
I had a problem with the master-detail relationship earlier...some people suggested certain things...but I am still having problems..

I have a form that has a master and detail block… Master block (tabular form) is based on a table that has a primary key which is coming from a “sequence” and I set the intial value property to ':sequence.sequence_name.nextval' for the primaty key item.  Detail block (tabular form) is based on a table that has the primary key of the above block as its foreign key. The detail block foreign key has “copy value from item property” filled with master_block.primary_key. The problem is that when I am saving the master block record, the associated detail block record is not getting the value of the primary key (Master Block) copied to its foreign key until I move the cursor away atleast once from the master record and comes back to the same record. So, put a post-insert trigger on the master block saying
:detail.foreign_key := master.primary_key The problem I am having is that I am not being able to save a record now in master without having records in detail block (since detail block has some “not null --- required” fields in it…) As soon as I hit f10, it gives me an error saying that a required field can not be empty.

Thanks..
