You shouldn't create database objects through Forms. Create a global temp table on the database and use that in your Form.

No, I am not: I am totally against on the fly creation of database objects. I didn't say that it wasn't possible, I said that it was something you should avoid. I NEVER had to create tables from Forms. Never. Oracle isn't made for a 'dynamic' data model. Wink

I think it's bad/sad programming altogether. Humor me and try to convince me of the opposite Very Happy

Maarten is right, you don't need that sort of temporary table, use a package table or have a predetermined table into which you store records for a short period of time.
