Getting: Do you want to save changes? When there are no changes?

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
I have a form that always prompts me if I want to save changes after querying a record and then exiting or trying a new query. I cannot figure out what changes it is asking if I want to save as nothing has been changed on the form. Is there a way to track what is causing this or where it is coming from?

Are the "Non-Database" items part of a base table block? If so, when you assign a value to these items - even though they are non-database items - Forms will record that the something in >the block has changed. Hi Craig, thats not true. You can change non-db-items in a base-table-block without the record-status beeing changed. Changeing the record-status only happens when the property "Lock record" is set to true, or if there is a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM-trigger on the non-db-item which changes a db-item.
You should always have put non-base table items in a Control Block.Thats also not true. You have non-base-table-items in nearly every basetable-block, think of all the lookup-items. How would you synchronize records in your db-block and your control-block?

Keep Getting 'Do you want to save changes Msg'

Hi all
Have a small form, two multi-record blocks, everything works ok, have no commits or anything in it but keep getting the message 'do you want to save changes?' if I clear query or exit form, if I press yes I get frm-40400 X amount of records saved when nothing has been changed.
I have another very similar form project more or less the same but with only one block and it doesn't do this??
Any ideas?
Andrew

I have used built in exit_form on a key exit form trigger and this has stopped message when I exit form.
exit_form(no_commit, no_validate);
But when I clear the query the 'Do you want to save' message still appears and also a message at the bottom left saying:
Press CTRL + Tab to move between choices, ENTER to select.

Getting Do you want to save changes while pressing F11

Hello,
I created one Custom Form by using template.fmb. In that 2 database blocks and 2 control blocks. In database blocks also couple of items are non database items. When ever I open the form from Oracle Applications and pressing F11 with out doing any changes then it is prompting for Do you want to save changes? If i am pressing Yes then (in my form i am using sequence). that one is generating and saving. After saving it is going into enter query mode.
Can you please help me out how to avoid this message and why this message is coming.
Regards,
Akash Vandan

You are getting this problem because you are probably modifying one of the fields in PRE or WHEN-NEW triggers. Just check if you have assigned any value to the fields using. you can search for colon (:).
Just delete that part of code and your form will work fine.

Query on Custom schema table getting 'Do You want to save changes' message

Hi all,
I am getting the error message whenever I query from the custom table. Here is the description of the issue.
1. I have a button on the first block. When the user clicks on this button , execute_query is called on another block. Then the user getting the message "do you want to save the changes" . Although there are no changes made on the form.
2. The second block is based on a custom table defined on the custom schema.
3. Created public synonym for this table and also gave the all the grants to apps schema on this table.
4. This error was not coming before when the second block is based on Apps schema table.
Any idea on how to fix this.
Thanks

I doubt the problem is related to a schema or public synonym. The message is appearing because the value for an item is being changed after your query executes.
First check to make sure that the blocks that are not based on a table are set to No. See the Database Data Block Property.
If that doesn't solve the problem, then run the debugger and watch to see what item is changing. You may be doing something in a trigger.

Disable "Do you want to save changes to *.pdf before closing?" when closing a tif

We upgraded to Office 2007 and decided to stop using the Office 2003 document imaging tool to view TIF TIFF files. This tool wasn't included with Office 2007 so we started using Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard as our default TIF viewer.
Here is the problem. When you close the TIF document you are prompted "Do you want to save changes to 'xxx.pdf' before closing?" Is there a way to disable this prompt? We don't want to convert the files since they are in a read only database.

Nope. Using WORD or Acrobat is forcing a conversion and it not an ideal way to view such files. In addition, you may want to change resolution or such of the graphic before you import it to something such as WORD. Many folks embed graphics that are 3500 dpi and millions of colors and totally bloat the file. They even crop the graphic and reduce the size, wondering why their DOC file is sooooo big. In that sense, there is an advantage to having some of the other tools available. You may have special needs and I do not want to second guess your company needs, so that is my two-cents worth. Sorry that I do not have other ideas, but using an existing graphics package would be the best for your need.

"Do you want to save changes" always poping when closing home made PDF

Hi,
I create a pdf by myself in one of my application (only external lib used is zlib for deflate streams)
I tried to follow the PDF references.
It's a simple PDF file with a few pages, some text & lines to underline (deflated or not same problem), and 3 fonts, a xref.
The PDF is showing perfectly in the Reader X 10.1.1 but when i try to close the window it always asks me :
"Do you want to save changes before closing".
All save options are disabled in the preferences of the reader.
Is there anything to do in the reader to avoid this ?
Is there anything to do in the PDF itself to avoid this ?
Or maybe the PDF is not completly correct ? Which is possible even if i tried to follow the specs in the official reference document, there are alot of chances that i may have done something wrong.

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

Adobe Reader X (free) -- "Do you want to save changes" prompt

Why is this prompt always coming up when I close a PDF document?
"Do you want to Save Changes to X Before closing?"
I am using the free Adobe Reader X 10.1.1. I can't make any changes to the file since it's the free version, so why is it asking me to save changes? Even if I just open the file and just close it right away without doing anything else the prompt comes up.

I think pretty much any PDF created by CutePDFWriter did that (as well as others not created that way, but CutePDF seemed to do it reliably).
To verify that I'd have to un-install 9.5.0 and re-install Reader X, which I'd rather not do (9.5.0 is better in other ways too - the integration with Chrome is nicer because the "print" and "save as" buttons always appear; they hardly ever appeared in Reader X when opening a PDF from Chrome).
You can get CutePDFWriter here: http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp
Let me know if you can't reproduce the problem (just post here) and I'll un-install/re-install, verify a file with the problem, and post it.
For now I'm very happy with Reader 9.5.0; it's perfect.

Supress Prompt 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...

Using Access 2007 SP2.
I have an unbound main form(Master page) with a datasheet subform in an mdb.
Close button is on the main form with the following code
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo
I have tried with multiple scenarios but none of them got succeed(Below are those)
set SourceObject property to "" while Unload
SetWarnings False in Form_load
When I close the form I am prompted with 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...'
Is there any way to suppress this annoying message?
Can anyone help on this
Thanks in advance

When I close the form I am prompted with 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...'
Which form is it prompting you about saving, the main form or the subform? If you close the main form with "DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo", I wouldn't expect you to get a prompt about saving changes to that form. But I could
see you getting a prompt about saving design changes to the subform. Are you making any design changes to the subform while in form view, such as filtering, sorting, column-resizing, etc?

:emp.location := Get_location();
end if;
Thanks

Hi Habib and Verma,
Thanks for the reply but Habib, if I use post on WVI it will lock my
record and in multi user environment , It is really an issue. So i won't want to use post on WVI.
Verma, If i set a the flag on post Query and wrap the WVI of non base item depends on the Flag means, I have to set this flag back while creating a new record to make WVI to fire !!!
If I modify the WVI of Non base item as
if :sysem.record_status in ('NEW','INSERT')

if u wanna getting ur total records of emp block then do this as an example ...
FUNCTION query_count (p_block_name VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
IS
cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK(p_block_name);
COUNT_QUERY;

Do you want to save changes button code

Do you want to save changes - appears twice in master-detail form.

Hello.
Sometimes ago i wanted "Do you want to save changes" message in my own language.
So i created trigger:
if :system.form_status IN ('CHANGED') then
     alert_response := show_alert('CHANGES');
     if alert_response = alert_button1 then
          commit_form;
     elsif alert_response = alert_button2 then
          clear_block(no_commit);
     elsif alert_response = alert_button3 then
          raise form_trigger_failure;
     end if;
end if;
I call that trigger in many other triggers like enter_query, ...
Everything worked fine until i created form with master_detail block.
The problem:
I have a form with two blocks. One master, one detail.
If i change something in detail block, go to master block item and press enter_query problem appears.
First i get the message "Do you ..." in my language. When i press NO or CANCEL i get again the message "Do you ..." in original (english) language?
Why is that?
Should i call my trigger somewhere else and not just in enter_query trigger (for this problem) or is checking form_status not enough?
Thanks.

When you create relation, 3 procedures are automatically created for you.
Check_Package_Failure, Clear_All_Master_Details and Query_Master_Details.
When you execute clear_block(no_commit) on the master block -
Clear_All_Master_Details will fire.
If you check Clear_All_Master_Details you will find following code there:
Go_Block(curblk);
Check_Package_Failure;
Clear_Block(ASK_COMMIT); -- This statement causing "Do you want to save changes" to appear

Closing Error - Do you want to save changes to '..... . pdf' file?

Hi,
I am kinda stuck with this error for a long time now and I always thought that changing to a new PC would resolve the issue. Unfortunately that did not help and hence I am seeking a solution using this community forum.
In brief, whenever I try to close a pdf file, it prompts me with an error asking "Do you want to save changes to '..... . pdf' file" when I have not made any changes to the actual file. Could someone please get back to me on how to resolve this issue? It is quite annoying for the fact that sometimes I get more than 10 pdf files opened and closing them one by one with this error is just too much of an ask.
I look forward to hearing from technical gurus out there and would really appreciate any prompt replies.
Many Thanks,
YSF

- Just tried the file you sent and there weren't any issues there. I saved the file and then closed it successfully without any prompts popping up.
- In regards to the opening of the files, I am opening them from within Adobe Reader itself.
- The pdf files basically are forms and don't include any interactive elements. So this is how it works, I use the print command from the database to save the file in pdf. Once the file is saved and opened, that is when I get the error message when closing the file.
Hope this help. Really appreciate your prompt response there!!

'Do you want to save changes you have made' while closing the form

Hi Everyone,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 version. I have created a new form as per the client requirement and registered with APPS. I met all the requirements, but when ever closing the form getting the error 'Do you want to save changes you have made' without entering or modifying records in he form.
Please help in this regard, bit urgent.
Thanks in Advance..
Venky.

Hi,
You can suppress messages depending on their message level. For a full description and examples on this topic, please see the help in Forms Builder (press F1 in your Builder) and search for :system.message_level.
or the other way would be.
As you are using the copy command for moving the data from one block to the other block , the status of the block will be changed to "Modified".As per oracle standards when every the block status is modified it fire the meassage 'Do you want to save changes you have made' .
To avoid the message you need to change status of each line to "Query" .Once you do this the block status automatically changes to "query" .Once it is in query mode when you try to close the form it will not pop-up the above message.
To change the line status use POST command . To get help on this command you can use form builder help.
Hope this serves your purpose.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.
Rgds,
Naveen.

How to remove the warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"

Issue: To remove the warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"
I have created a XFA pdf file(using LC Designer 8.2) to display this issue
I am not able to attached the PDF. Without attaching the pdf it would be difficult to explain.
click event js:
function activateUser() {
var PDFVersion=xfa.host.variation+xfa.host.version;
xfa.host.messageBox("button click event registered");
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "invisible";
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "visible";
event.target.dirty=false;
docReady event js:
function displayInfo(){
var res =xfa.host.variation;//Added this line to display the successMsg
//xfa.host.messageBox("docReady event registered");
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
docClose event js:
xfa.host.messageBox("docClose event registered");
event.target.dirty=false;
Steps to get the warning:
1) Open the attached pdf using Acrobat Professional.
2) Click the Confirm Enrollment" button
3) Now close the document & the acrobat gives a warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"
Summary of the XFA pdf:
It has two text fileds. On docReady event field A is made visisble & field B is made invisible.
On button click event the field A is made invisisble & field B is made visible.
On closing the pdf it should not throw this warning message.
My Efforts:
1) Found a property in adobe js docs.
       event.target.dirty=false;
It doesn't solve the problem.
2) I tried to put this logic in almost all the events listed in designer but I am not able to resolve the issue.
Please help me resolve this issue.

I tried putting the below 2 lines of code at the end of button click event & docClose event.
      event.target.dirty=false;
      event.target.requiresFullSave=false;
It still gives the warning.
Also I tried to found out the line of code which is making the pdf dirty.
xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (before displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (after displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
The doc got dirty when the successMsg field is made invisible.
Problem I am trying to solve is:
     To display a welcome message before user action and after user action wants to display a success message.
     I follwed the visible & invisible approach & it wokred but gives me a warning on doc close.(Highly imp to avoid it)
Is there any other approach I could follow here.
