Form trigger failure in WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD still saves data

Question

Hi, I have a WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger on one of my data blocks. When there is an problem with the data, I use RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE. The error dialog appears, but it's still saving the data to the database!
Here is the code for the WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger:
-- WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD Trigger for WTL_USERS Block in form MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
DECLARE
     v_user_name VARCHAR2(10);
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
BEGIN
          -- Check if this is the ADMIN account
          -- If it's a new account an error will occur - this is OK, nothing happens
          SELECT user_name
          INTO v_user_name
          FROM wtl_users
          WHERE user_id = :WTL_USERS.USER_ID;
     -- If this is the ADMIN account, you cannot disable it
     IF v_user_name = 'ADMIN' THEN
          -- Ensure that the ADMIN account has not been disabled
          IF :WTL_USERS.USER_ACTIVE = 'N' THEN
               v_alert_button := SHOW_ALERT('ADMIN_ACTIVE_ALERT');
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
          ELSIF :WTL_USERS.USER_NAME != 'ADMIN' THEN
               v_alert_button := SHOW_ALERT('ADMIN_NAME_ALERT');
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
          ELSIF :WTL_USERS.USER_ROLE != 'A' THEN
               v_alert_button := SHOW_ALERT('ADMIN_ROLE_ALERT');
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
          END IF;
     END IF;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          NULL;               
END;
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Adam
