Also this:
if not Form_Success THEN
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
CLEAR_RECORD;
Execute_Query ;
Is completely wrong because:
1) If validation fails wouldn't you want the user to fix their mistakes instead of getting rid of what they've done so far?
2) RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure causes the trigger to stop executing at that point. So the following two commands can never ever run.

Raise an error. Do nothing else.

That requirement appears to be based on a misunderstanding about how forms works.
Whenever you try to insert or update a record in forms it will check if all the items and the record itself are marked as valid. If they aren't it'll automatically run any appropriate when-validate triggers. If they pass then the record is marked as valid and forms will proceed to the run the pre-insert/update trigger. If any fail you will get an error and processing will stop.
You do not do validation in pre-insert generally, you do it in the appropriate WHEN-VALIDATE trigger. You might want to generate the sequence no in pre-insert but nothing else.
