Hi
I have a non-database text item (name: profession_temp) on a block and it is a also return item for an lov.

When I change the property "validate from list" of the item(name: profession_temp), to YES, and closing the form without inserting, updating, deleting any record , a message is displayed "do you want to save the changes?".

When I change the above property back to "No", the message is not displayed in this case. I wonder why this message appears while there is no change occurred in the underlying records?

please guide me...

Thanks
RzKhan

Do you have a 'When-Validate-Item' trigger on this non-dtabase field? Does the LOV populate any other items? Do you have 'Auto Confirm' turned on for this LOV?

Is one of those other items a database item?

Yes.

There are two return items.

Item1 is a Non-Database 
and 
Item2 is a Database item

Are you changing the value of the non-database item at any point?

Presumably at some point the non-database item is being validated. This is in turn modifying the database item which is changing the record status, which in turn is causing the form to ask if you want to save changes.

I don't know why the validation is firing on the non-database item but I can only assume there is some code somewhere in your form that is the cause.

I can only suggest you put message calls in various triggers to show you the item_is_valid property of the non-database item. At some point in your form it's going to change. If we can work out which trigger it's happening in and which line of code we can resolve this.

One other question:
Are you querying data when this happens?
And if so are you setting the value of the non-database item in a post-query trigger?

(ok two questions)

I am sure there is no such code which modify any item value.

Then I don't know what to suggest.
maybe someone else can think of something.
But I've never seen an oracle form decide a record is changed just because validate_from_list is set to Yes.

Is this field item defined as being a copy of another item or is it being copied by another item?
