Oracle Forms 10 auto save form data

Question

He is there a function or setting which automaticly save's the form's data when a user forgot to press save? Like Word has?

Answer 1

No there isn't. You may be able to do something using TIMERs, but I wouldn't recommend it really. Whereas Word is handling a single user's changes to a single document, Oracle is handling potentially many users' concurrent changes to many tables. If your form auto-saves and the user didn't want those changes saved, you can't just "undo" the changes.

Answer 2

You need to code it yourself.

For example, you could add a COMMIT_FORM call to a form-level KEY-EXIT trigger. You might have to check what's in your WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger as well.
