As you probably noticed, many of your replies are directed at a different kind of "trigger" - a database trigger. There is no user interface for a database trigger. If you are using Oracle Forms, then in that context, a trigger is a different animal. You can display a message (alert) from the trigger. If you are using J2EE, then you are talking about an event trigger.

That's the problem when one word has multiple meanings, but your post doesn't clarify which meaning you intended. That's not a bad thing ... just a newbie thing.

Let us know in which context you are using the word and we'll be happy to help. Received on Thu Dec 05 2002 - 00:07:14 CET
