Hi

I have seen in probably VB or Dot net software being used at some premises that there "formula computation is live and interactive".

What i means that suppose a cashier has made invoice having total of 83$. Mow in the text box for entering amount received, the cashier is about to enter 100................. but surprisingly the returned value/remaining value (total invoice - amount received) is being computer LIVE.

This is what happens.
1) The cashier entered 1 and the remaining value instantly showed 82 (83-1)
2) then on other key stroke of 0 by cashier and then then the remaining value instantly showed 73 (83-10)
3) then on other key stroke of 0 by cashier and then then the remaining value instantly showed 17 (83-100)


Hence a continuous updation/changing of the remaining value on every key stroke is observed.

Can we achieve this in oracle forms?

Thanks

No, and I don't see the purpose of fancy special effects like that.

I'll say "maybe", but not through Forms "as is". I believe you'd have to involve Java into that.

How? I don't know I've never done that.

Is it worth the pain? I'll agree with Joy Division - probably not.

I am replacing software of one of the person with oracle.

But I respect your responses.

Thanks for your valuable time.
