Add a display item in ur form and create a time ,set ur timer expire on every millisecond.
write code into when-timer-expired trigger.
begin
select to_char(sysdate,'hh:mi:ss')
into :column_name from dual;
synchronise;
end;

sorry for the previous command ,its was an mistake.
The process is this , first u have to create a timer with the command 'create_timer'
i have no form builder right now so please see it in form builder help, copy it from there and create in the 'when_new_form_instance ' trigger ,and the line where the timer is created write this:
variable := create_time('timername',1,repeat);

then in when_timer_expired trigger write the previous given command for solve this problem.

if u dont how to use timer just tell me without hasitate to my mail, i m now often visit this site.

Thanks,
Shahzad.

hi ghazala

use this code

"when-new form-instance"

DECLARE
CurrTime TIMER;
OneSec CONSTANT NUMBER := 1000;
BEGIN
CurrTime := CREATE_TIMER('CURRTIME',OneSec,REPEAT);
END;

"when-timer_expired"

DECLARE
ExpTimer VARCHAR2(40) := Get_Application_Property(TIMER_NAME);
vTime VARCHAR2(30):= :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME;
BEGIN

IF ExpTimer = 'CURRTIME' THEN

:BLOCK7.VTIME := SUBSTR(vTime, instr(vTime,' ')+1);
--synchronize;
END IF;
END

then place oen text item on your canvas with name of "vtime"
format mask would be "char"

thanks "dont feel hesitate to ask frequently questions"
