  into v_ename
  from employees
  where employee_id=bind_value;
  return (v_ename);
END;2- I saved this function (File > save > c:\my_lib\emp_name.pll)
3- in attached libraries i went to same path in step 2 and i get this alert

hi dude
its work you are right thanks , but i still have a problem with this alert message if i press yes the there is an error at runtime and the form it's not work
but if i press no in the alert everything it's fine (why?????)
plz adviceThis is forms information/confirmation message if you read it carefully. While you are attaching library. Form will ask that you want to remove the path from where you are attaching library. If you will choose YES. And you will run form. Then system will try to search it from the registry key named FORMS_PATH as i remember. And suppose if you will choose NO. Then form will save the path of your library and at runtime it will read from that path. So, its better to set value in FORMS_PATH in registry of your library location.
Search in registry with name FORMS_PATH. There will be some existing values. Just in last put the actual path where you library exists. For example when you will double click on FORMS_PATH then you will see some paths. Just in last put semi colon and then set the path of you library just like C:\MY_FORMS. Assuming that your forms and library exists in MY_FORMS folder which is in C drive.
there is a question you did not answer it (how did u copy past my post like this (italics mode)) plz..When you click on reply. Then there will one edit window come. There are some buttons like Bold, Italic ..etc. There is the last button with *"* this icon. And the tool tip is Quot Orignal use that button to get last replying person text.
