Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Oracle Forms Error Message 40508
(Please let me know if I should ask somewhere else.)
I'm getting the following error from Oracle when I try to
COMMIT_FORM:
(From the Oracle Forms Documentation)
FRM-40508: ORACLE error: unable to INSERT record.
Cause: A fatal error occurred while Oracle Forms was trying to
insert a record. The table associated with the current block of the form might not exist, your username might not have authority to perform the specified action on the table, or some other reason might have caused the fatal error.
I know the table exists and I have access to it because I created the table. The block I'm using has 'delete allowed', 'insert allowed', and 'query allowed' properties set to 'True'.
When I asked somewhere else, the person said it was more a database error than a forms error. He also suggested checking the default menu in Oracle but I'm not sure how to do it since this is a Unix OS on a Sun at school.
I've already asked my professor (the dba) who had no idea. The project is due Tuesday and at this rate will never be finished. Any other suggestions of what could be the problem or what I could do?
TIA,
Lynn
