Hello everyone! Im new to oracle so please bare with me. I wish to consult my problem.
Scenario :
I have two forms, Form A and Form B. They both can be called from the menu but Form B can also be called from a button in Form A. I am passing global variable (Account_no) as I call form B from Form A and then catch all of it in when-new-form instance of Form B. The global variable are then assigned to a field in Form B (Account_no field).
Problem:
When I call Form B using Form A's button, I would want the first field which is Account_no field to be unupdateable. So in Form B When-new-instance trigger, Im trying to set it using set_item_property('BLK.account_no', UPDATE_ALLOWED, property_false); . But it doesnt seem to work, the value can be updated/modified. REading the Online help tells me that update_allowed property wont work if the status is in New and Insert.  I also tried to place it in the pre-text-item trigger of the field but still having the same result.
Could you please give me advise or tips on how to handle it. I really need it badly.
Thanks in advance.

You can't disable the field which is currently the 'focus' of your form. Either, in your when-new-form-instance trigger move the focus to another field before disabling this special field, or in the definition of your block define a field other than your special field as being the first field.
