Creating Form Manually w/Process that Contains Multiple Insert Statements

Question

Hello,
I've been trying to create a form manually by following the instructions in the Users Manual under "Creating Form Manually - Creating a Process that Contains One or More Insert Statements." I have not had much luck and I think that it is because I'm not sure what is ment when said:
"Create a conditional process of type PL/SQL that executes when the user clicks the button."
Here is the PL/SQL that I used:
BEGIN
UPDATE T
SET first_name = :P1_FIRST_NAME,
last_name = :P1_LAST_NAME
WHERE ID = :P1_ID;
END;
I am not sure where to create this process,however. I've tried several areas (i.e. Processes under Page Processing, Processes under Page Rendering, Under Conditions on the Button, etc.) but will get errors or no effect at all.
Please let me know what i am doing wrong. If you could provide me with a simple example of how to create a form manually, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Linda

Hello Scott,
I followed your instructions and the error that I get is that nothing happens at all. I submit the page and nothing gets updated, deleted or added.
I have the table, report, processes and form in place. Here are the settings:
Process Point: is "on-submit, after computations...(in the Page Processing Section)
Type: PL/SQL anonymous block
Source: BEGIN
INSERT INTO T ( first_name, last_name )
VALUES (:P1_FIRST_NAME, :P1_LAST_NAME);
END;
Conditional Processing: When Button Pressed (Create (ADD))
For the Button:
Database Action: SQL Insert action
URL Redirect: No Target
Should I have any special settings on the Page Item? (i.e. under Default: Default Value Type: PL/SQL Expression) or maybe under Conditions: Condition Type - PL/SQL?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Linda
