Your query returns more than one row. So either you have a problem in your data, like a duplicate record that you can delete and prevent from happening again, or you have to create a cursor and process your query to expect the possibility of more than I row.
Run your query in sqlplus to see why you get more than 1 row. If the values selected are the same in all the rows returned, you could switch it from select, to select distinct and that would fix it too. Or, possibly you could select (max)whatever to limit your data to one row.

You can also check if in your view you have something like

select a
from b
where c = (select d
from e
)

The error can come from the equal sign. To correct the error you can do:

select a
from b
where c in (select d
from e
)

@lavallee_g, although there's nothing wrong in answering questions and solving problems, perhaps it would be a good idea to check topic age - this one is more than 4 (FOUR!) years old. I believe there are newer topics that wait to be answered.

Your rigth, my bad.. I will be more carefull next time..

But maybe a clean-up to delete these old messages once in a while would help... 4 years it is a bit long don't you think?

As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't delete any messages here.

However, if you think it is a good idea, go to the Suggestions & Feedback Forum, post a topic and see what other people (especially Frank Naude) have to say about it.

Unanswered messages that are four years old may be candidates, but answered messages are NOT candidates. Just because the question and answer are old does not make then wrong or not needed. There are way too many people out in the REAL world that are using VERY old versions of Forms and the old questions are still pertinent.
