Hi Guys:

This is the first time to encounter this design on existing module. On a block, my items were all from table_A aside from 1 item which is from query.

The item has these properties:
Database Item = Yes
Column Name = (select name from table_B B where C.myid = table_A.myid) myid

Then I get this error upon saving changes:

ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification

along with this query:

UPDATE table_A SET fld1=:1,fld2=:2,fld3=:3,fld4=:4,fld5=:5,(select name from table_B B where B.myid = table_A.myid)  name=:6 WHERE ROWID=:7

Where should be wrong here?
When I set Database Item = No, it saves without problem.

Obviously, you can't use items that way. It either belongs to a table you've based this data block on, or not. This item does NOT belong to that table, so you can't set its "database item" property to "Yes" (as Forms won't find it in that table). Therefore, it must be a non-database item.

If you want to store certain information into it, you'll have to write some code (for example, in PRE-INSERT trigger).

Or, create a view that will contain all columns from both tables and base form block on that view. All operations should then be done on a view (which includes use of additional triggers) instead of a table.
