Hi all,

We have a master detail form
block A (master) contains an item, this item is in the record group's where-clause used to fill a list item on block B (detail block) (database item)
we fille the list item in a pre-record trigger on the master block
this works fine but when we navigate through the records in block a we intermittently get the following error :
FRM-41337 : cannot populate the list from record group;

any solutions
how should we filll our list item, in which trigger (when-new-record-instance of master block doesn't work correctly, the list item only gets filled after clicking it twice)

Kr
Martin

Then presumably for those records the query is erroring. Try running the query in sqplus with the values from those records.

The query is fine,
you cannot populate or clear a listitem
at the moment when there are records in its block

so when do we fill (which trigger) the listitem

Ah, I overlooked that.
Don't use a list item. use a text item with an LOV. Dynamic list items will cause you nothing but grief.

What if you make the block B as non-database item? Populating a item based on trigger is always less troublesome if it is a non-dB item.

Not sure what you think will be easier about it.
The problem he is currently hitting will remain and you've got to write extra code to copy the value of the item to seperate DB item. It does need to be saved after all.
