I have a master detail block based form, sometimes its very strange that upon saving the record on current row of detail record, the record disappears but when i exit and re query the item is actually saved.But when i keep the cursor on next record which is blank and save it , there is no problem.Something to do with properties.Kindly advice.

The main problem is in one word: SOMETIMES. What does it mean? Are there only 2 cases (1: you are in the empty record -> no problem. 2: you are in any other record -> it disappears)?

If you were on later Forms version, you could run the form in debug mode and follow its execution path. Now, on 6i, you'll have to put MESSAGE built-ins into your PL/SQL code units so that you could see - step by step - what the form exactly does and spot the moment record disappears.

Alternatively (and much less costly) is to execute query in detail block after commit, such as

commit;
go_block('detail_block');
execute_query;

Hopefully, you won't even notice that anything happened.

does the detail block have any list items where the values of the list are changed programmatically?

Ok then you're going to have to debug your form to work out what's going on.
As LF already suggested - put messages in each form trigger / program unit so you can see what gets fired when you save the records.
Use get_block_property(<block name>, last_query) to check what query the form submits to the DB when you try to requery the data and don't get it.
