alert_button number;

if :V_STAT_D.RESRV is not null then
if Empl_Exists(:v_emp.emp_no,:V_STAT_D.RESRV) = 0 then (if record not exist)
alert_button:=show_alert('A_CONF');
if alert_button=alert_button1 then -- alert asking user to confirm add new record
-- here we need the form to receive one value from the user
then insert into is there any way as ms access to send inputbox , the user type in , then use this value to insert into record ?

wellcome back my teacher , i missed u
long time i not hear any replay from u
could u guide me on how to use this global variable
long time i not hear any replay from u
I suggest to user :global.variables
could u guide me on how to use this global variable
Create a procedure (for example in a library that may be used also in other forms)which library ? in this form ?

ok great ,
i did it but for my bad luck , the fmx of inputbox box fail to open ,
inspit of the fmb opened
i just added one button and one text item , then the code of global
:global.inputbox_text := :text_item;
is it necessary to add also the button variables
when button pressed trigger on button1
:global.inputbox_button := 'BUTTON1';
when button pressed trigger on button2
:global.inputbox_button := 'BUTTON2';
second :
then i adjust the procedure like this
PROCEDURE SHOW_INPUTBOX( p_text OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
-- initialise the globals
COPY(NULL,'GLOBAL.INPUTBOX
CALL_FORM('F_INPUTBOX');
-- use the globals
p_text := NAME_IN('GLOBAL.INPUTBOX_T
-- remove the globals
ERASE('GLOBAL.INPUTBOX_TEX
END;
is it ok ? because i need only the value of the text , i dont have any other text
or i should add the missed codes of button ?
third
regarding calling the global , is it true like this :
declare
m_name varchar2(70);
begin
SHOW_INPUTBOX(m_name);
insert into person_cons(person_name)
values(m_name);
commit;
END;

If you don't need the button information,but just the text i think you are making the good modifications.
But I don't understand your problem :
the fmx of inputbox box fail to open , inspit of the fmb opened
Do you mean it works if you use the run-option in the form builder but not if you call the form from another another form ?

ASKER
Yes , it run via form builder , but not run when calling it from another form , also I try to run it from form run time but not run also
You are able to run other forms at runtime ?
ASKER
yes , i run many forms at runtime without any problem
ASKER
sorry
today i run it without any modification , it run
the code working very well now thanx
still one thing
when i call the inputbox form , how i can avoid showing the runtime standard form of oracle

What do you mean by "runtime standard form" ?
If you mean that the form from where you call the imput-box is hidden if the inputbox-form is shown, then adjust the size of the window (and canvas) till it gets a real box the size you want.

ASKER
I already adjusted the canvas & window size to fit with my requirement , but still when calling the input box form , there is full size of oracle runtime form
I will check settings for a simular form-type at work on monday.
If you want to experiment check window-style (> dialog) and modal (>yes) of the windows properties.
Is that window also the window mentioned in the form-properties ?

What version of oracle forms you are using ?
If you use the inputbox calling it from another form is it a problem ?

i'm using oracle forms 6i
actually this problem not exculsive to the inbut box form
the screen of the oracle form appearing with all my forms

Forms 6i runtime: I think I can't help you.
In later versions you can define the size of the applet within the forms*.cfg configuration file, but even then we did use it with internet explorer so that applet is shown in the standard browser window,

shall i open new question for that subject ?
thanx

You might consider building another form with a small canvass, some push-buttons and a text item and mimick the behaviour of the msaccess inputbox.
Create a procedure (for example in a library that may be used also in other forms) that calls the form and return the pressed button and and the value.
I suggest to user :global.variables to enable the communication between inputbox-form and procedure.
