Hi there

I am currently working on form which contains five or more tabs.
Couple of them are view only or couple of are updatable and insert able.

Problem starts when I move from view only tab to DML one but form doesn't seems to like that and stays in view only mode and insert new record button(top left hand one) stays disabled (greyed out).
If I move from insert able tabs to other insert able tabs that button stays green.

Any idea would be highly welcome.

Thanks!
Usman Ahmad.

Did you try to change focus from non-updateable item to updateable one? GO_ITEM is what I have in mind.

Thanks Littlefoot for your reply, that's so kind of you.
I don't want to update that tab but I want to insert a field.
I'm using trigger when-new-block-instance on that block which should change its property
Set_Block_Property(l_block,INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
but I doesn't seems to be working......

Note : I am using oracle stranded tool bar and insert new record button is greyed out and you can insert on that block even manually.

PANIC OVER..... Surprised
I have managed to fix it.... Cool

solution....

I added another field on that canves to filter the data on that tab which is non-database and you can not do DML on it. When tab changes form cursor goes on that field and icon becomes active.....
Shocked

Thanks Again Littlefoot............
