Hi All,
I want to count the hit(click) in when button pressed trigger. Please elaborate the ways How we can count that how many times button has been pressed.
In fact I want to calculate the number of downloading of file (from a sharing drive using forms 6i.) and want to limited downloading of file e.g 5 times a file can be downloaded. every click on a button will be counted as download.

Thanks in advance.

Have a datablock item / global variable
Set it to 0 when the form starts (when-new-form-instance)
increment by 1 in when-button-pressed

cookiemonster thanks for your reply. But I need at whole not for every time form startup. I want to store these count in database and only DBA could reset or decrease the number of downloads. Please give me example code where I count the number of clicks and store it in database.

Call a stored procedure in the when-button-pressed that does an insert/update as appropriate into the table you want to store this.
Make the procedure an autonomous_transaction.

It's not difficult.
