HI
The form is working and the main block is based on a view.
Now we have to change main block to a new view with same fields instead of the current view which is the base of the block.

I changed it and the block is not populating data for all the fields.I checked some fields donot have any values.

Any idea what may be the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Are these fields database fields? If so, they are supposed to contain values only if underlying database object (a "new" view in your case) contains values in these columns. If not, check whether they are populated via (for example) POST-QUERY trigger(s) - perhaps you'll have to modify data source mentioned in the FROM clause(s).

Actually the new view exist in another database.
I have created a synonym like the following for the new view which exist in another database:
create public synonym emp_v for scott.emp@db_link;


I am not sure if the block is based on a view over the db link will it be a problem considering the version of the forms.
But I can query the view from the sqlplus or Toad on the same Oracle home.

Any suggestions?

Did you try with a private synonym (i.e. created in the same schema you are connecting to while using this form)?

Yes.
I created the synonym and am referring that in the form.

Any idea whether the remote view is supported in Forms 6i version.

This is the Forms version Forms 32 Bit Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production) on Windows.

I have a database block in a form pointing to a view called 'emp_v' in the local database.We have to change the block to point to a new view 'emp_view' from a remote database having the same database structure.When I changed the view to a new view in a remote database on the block through Layout wizard, it is not working.For the remote view, I created a synonym 
create synonym emp_view for scott.emp@db_link)

I could query the view from the SQL Plus or TOAD.

Next, I tried creating another view locally based on the remote database view.Still it didnot work.

As the above action plan didnot succeed, then I tried calling 
set_block_property('EMP_BLOCK', DML_DATA_TARGET_NAME , 'emp_view')
in PRE-QUERY trigger to override the block which has database block set to old view 'emp_v'. It also didnot work, then I tried calling the above set_block_property in NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger.Still the form is loading data from the old view 'emp_v' instead of looking at remote view 'emp_view'.

Did I miss something here?
Please suggest.

Try to drop (or rename) "emp_v" view and see what happens - form should raise an error as it will be unable to fetch data from a non-existent view. Once you fix the error (hopefully), you can restore the "emp_v" view.

Thanks for the reply.
But my target view is 'emp_view' which is the new view from remote database not 'emp_v' which is old view.

That's what I understood. However, *perhaps* there's - somewhere - some kind of relationship which you didn't discover (yet) that uses "emp_v" instead of "emp_view". Therefore, remove "emp_v" and form should fail. It might tell you where to look at in order to fix the issue.
