Hi Kamran

I have no idea~~~

use message to output c at pre-insert and check what value it is dispalyed.. (or if any value at all)

try to do some testing, run the form in the debug mode and trace the value of c.

This may be a nonsense, but - did you save changes in the form? Clicking on the "Save" button, pressing <KEY-COMMIT> or perform "commit;" on any other way?

Oh well ... just a little bit of reading on-line Forms help and everything is much clearer.

Go to the help system and search for "Creating a Calculated Item". In there, you'll find "Creating a calculated item Restrictions", which says:

Quote:

The following item properties are defaulted to NO at compilation time:
- database item
etc.

Therefore, although the item "database item" property is set to Yes, it will be invalidated and at runtime your "c" item will be a control item.

In order to make your formula work, create a control item (for example "c_calc") (as suggested in the Help), make it a Formula column and enter the formula you want.
To store formula item value into the database, create PRE-INSERT trigger on the block; it will have only one line:

:block.c := :block.c_calc;

That should do it.

[EDIT]
By the way, Mohannad (in post #7) suggested you to read Help last Saturday. Being busy last week?

Calculated items are display-only control items.

1.Calculated items cannot be database items.
2.While you can set a calculated item's Enabled, Mouse Navigate, and Keyboard Navigable properties to Yes,
you cannot set the Insert Allowed or Update Allowed properties to Yes.

So NI Pre-Insert and Pre-update write
Your DB Column Name = :C

Actually:

IF Your DB Column Name != :C THEN
  Your DB Column Name = :C
END IF;
