1. how can i check the primary key violation at item level.
say when user enters empno and if this exists in the table the
cursor should not go to next field..and error pop ups

2. how can i set the ename to have only alpha characters..
say when user enters ename and if this is other then alphabets then cursor should not go to next field..

1. on when-validate-item, check the input against the table.
2. data type must be 'Alpha'

Thanks again for prompt reply.
1. Issue close, I have written the code at when-validate-item
as you said...
2. Ename field was just an example..sorry for this..
here my requirement is a 5 char service code field which can have only A-Z values and not space / Null

Set property to required = YES, this will not accept null and spaces input, but alpha and spaces will be accepted. I don't know if there is a mask to reject spaces, but you can trap this on validation. have a look at this: http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/173919/67467/?srch=rtrim?SQ=&S=0d9303a459a0f5f94bf4efa084f075dd#msg_173919
