I'm afraid I don't understand the question. What does it mean? ("Simultaneously"? Simultaneously with what?)

My problem is connected to my previous issue.
Simultaneously, that when I delete the record to Form using delete_record,
the data in my table will also be deleted.
Hope you get the point. 'Coz i'm really having a hard time explaining it technically.. Sad

You need to COMMIT after DELETE_RECORD.

It should. You must be doing something wrong.

Maybe; Cookiemonster, in your previous thread, suggested use of COMMIT_FORM. Did you try it?

Can you describe what you are doing?

Where is that "delete" button? What block does it belong to? (Because, it deletes a record in a block that contains the button). Is it a database block? What table is it based on? How do you check whether record got deleted or not?

Delete Button is in its datablock.
At first, I made a block manually. Then after a while,
I go to its property then I just put the 'table name'
on the 'Query Data Source Name'.
I'm doing the usual process. Putting some needed information
then, press SAVE Button. I'm checking it if its inserting, and yes, it does.
Then after saving, I press the DELETE Button and I checked my table, the data is still there.

What happens if you don't use your own "Delete" button, but the one that is part of Forms' toolbar (it is a red "X" icon)?

- go to a record you would like to delete
- press red "X" button
- press "Save" button on the toolbar
- check the table - what do you see?

I don't see any record thing here. Only on the left side of the Form which indicates that you want to delete a block, canvas or the module.
Below is my interface. You can a small window, the delete button is my problem. They are in same block.
/forum/fa/9062/0/

I posted earlier the code of the delete button.

I was talking about these buttons:

/forum/fa/9063/0/

On your screenshot, there are two "Delete" buttons. One is on a "large" (Buy-Off Transactions window) and another one on "small" (REWORK) window.

Which one did you push?

I suppose that, if you are in "Buy-Off Details" block, positioned in the second record (Line No = 2, "Die Elec...") and push "Delete" (this one: SAVE DELETE Cancel), that very record is removed from block. Also, if there's COMMIT (COMMIT_FORM) in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, it is deleted from a table (otherwise, you should manually save changes you've made).

Your screenshot: if you are now in REWORK window and push that DELETE button, nothing would happen because - there are no records in that block (Code - Description - Qty items are empty).

In the image you posted. I don't see any of that in my Form.
In the REWORK Window, I deleted the record before I do the print screen.
But if put some data in the REWORK Window, and I press the delete button,
it only deletes the record in the window but not in the table. Sad

That's strange.

When posting DELETE button's code, which DELETE button was it? "DELETE - SAVE - BACK" or "SAVE - DELETE - Cancel"?

Does the other (SAVE - DELETE - Cancel) button work correctly? How does it look like?

You mentioned earlier and the posts that when making a datablock, just follow the Wizard.
What I do is I don't follow the Wizard, I made my datablock manually which has the same name as my table.
Is that can also be the reason?
Actually, i'm making a new form from the start following your instructions. Smile

Hope this will work this time.

Well, if you are doing that manually, you should know HOW TO DO THAT. If you are not experienced Forms user, maybe you missed one or more settings which caused unexpected behavior.

I don't have any, so ... Google is your friend. Take a look at this tutorial; might be OK for beginning.

Also worth noting that oracle form builder help is incredibly comprehensive - It gives for listing for every builtin with examples, as well as having topics on every concept of how forms work. Make use of it.

Actually I don't use any of the trigger.
As long as I can do all the transaction in query, I'll do so.
Thanks for the info then, I will not use on-commit Smile

delete_record is not, in any meaningful sense, a query. It's a command, or a builtin. If you refer to such things as queries you're going to confuse people.
