I can't seem to browse through previous records using the F8 function. The form asks me to fill every required field.

Hi! I would like to ask for anyone's help. I can't execute a query in my form. whenever i execute a query oracle moves the cursor to a required field and asks me to input a value.

Are you starting with a blank record when you press F8?

I assumed you had records in the database otherwise you wouldn't be trying to query them. That's not what I asked.

Is the record in the form that the cursor is in when you press F8 blank?

Oh. sorry. I don't have a cursor. I was told that the query in oracle does the fetching from the database. I found what was wrong this line of code ":requisitions.bran_branch_code := Get_Usr_Tmpbrch(:parameter.cgu$user,trunc(sysdate));" was affecting the forms.

While cursor in oracle usually means

CURSOR <blah> IS 
SELECT....

A cursor in a record in oracle forms would be the other type of cursor:

Computers. a movable, sometimes blinking, symbol that indicates the position on a CRT or other type of display where the next character entered from the keyboard will appear, or where user action is needed, as in the correction of an erroneous character already displayed.

Never mind.
Glad you sorted your problem.
