hi there,
I have created an update button, so when the user click on it , it will ask the user if he wants to update the form (yes or no), my problem is that I want the trigger to check if the user have made any changes if yes then I want to fire the update message. How can I do it?

There are system variables for block and form status that show whether the current form or block contains records that have been changed (See code below):

------------------------------------------------
IF (:SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS = 'CHANGED') THEN
MESSAGE ('THE FORM HAS BEEN CHANGED');
ELSE
MESSAGE ('THE FORM HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED');
END IF;

IF (:SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS = 'CHANGED') THEN
MESSAGE ('THE BLOCK HAS BEEN CHANGED');
ELSE
MESSAGE ('THE BLOCK HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED');
END IF;
------------------------------------------------

Lookup 'SYSTEM' in the Form Builder help files for more information.

Good luck, Merry Christmas.
