Forms just stop working intermittently when using Excel too

I have a random, strange and frustrating problem! I am working in R12.0.4 doing some testing, which means I need to keep referring to an Excel spreadsheet (version 2007), so I frequently switch between Oracle Forms and Excel - sometimes by clicking between and sometimes using Alt-Tab. What happens, intermittently - sometimes frequently and sometimes not - is that when I return to Oracle, the form stops working - I can't tab through the fields, I can't select any buttons, I can't even hit the 'quit' icon in the top right corner. My only way out is to close the J-Initiator window (which in turn closes the forms session) and to then re-start my forms session from the Apps Home Page.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
Finally I have encountered the issue again (I said it was intermittent)!
Here is a copy of the error message in the java console:

Hopefully that will be meaningful to one of you. I notice it says something about a clipboard - just in case it matters, I am NOT trying to copy and paste between the applications.
Thanks,

  • My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

    My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?
    Thanks

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • Sand Box has stopped working error when using System Exec.vi with wait until completion is true

    I get the following error message in Windows 7 "Sand Box has stopped working" when using System Exec.vi with wait until completion set to true, if I set it to false there is no error message.

    Hello JJVerdi
    mmm well System Exec.vi simulates a DOS command window, can you run the sandbox from the cmd window using the same commands without any errors? 
    you may take a look to this KB, it may be related to your issue:

  • IPod - BMW Connector - Mine just stopped working???

    My factory BMW/Ipod connector has worked perfectly up until last week (over 1yr). I don't recall updating any software on either my ipod or my itunes software recently.
    It just stopped working. When it is plugged into the connector in my vehicle, it is recognizing the power source as it is charging the ipod, however my car won't recognize the ipod anymore.
    If anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting or history of the same thing happening, I would appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    The same thing happened to me. I have a 40G click wheel model, and it suddenly stopped working. I took it in to MBW, and they said it was my Ipod. But the Ipod works in every other way. I also called BMW, but no help there either. So I tried my daughters 10G dock connector Ipod, and it works! So, I went on ebay and bought a 20G dock connector Ipod, and use it only in my car. Not a great solution, as BMW and Apple should work out this bug. But until then, I will use my backup Ipod, as it is only solution I could come up with. Hopefully it does not also stop working some day!!

  • My media player just stopped working.

    My media player on my Q10 just stopped working. When I try to pla an audio or video file it will play for at most 7 seconds and stop and next the following error msg will be displayed "the file can't be played due to an unexpected error". I have wiped my phone but it is still the same

    I don't know. Quick searching did not turn up a sure fire fix. Maybe you have searched as well. There is a long thread on CrackBerry where several users report trying different things. Is wiping the device the only thing you have tried?
    If you have another card (or can borrow one) that is what I would want to try. In that one thread, that was the one reported fix: a new card.
    If playing files from device memory works, and reformatting the card doesn't fix the problem, seems to me next step is try another card that you know is good.

    iPhoto just stopped working. It loads pictures, but then goes into rainbow wheel forever. Then I try to force quit it, and then the whole Mac hangs up (had to power cycle it to get it back). I am using OS 10.5.8, and when I run software update, it assures me I have up to date software. I have not added any photos since the last time I used it, probably less than a month ago. What gives?

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
    I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • I was using Safari , 5 tabs open, when my macbook pro just stopped working .What can i do ??

    I was using Safari , 5 tabs open, when my macbook pro just stopped working .What can i do ??

    Press the Power button for about 10 seconds to shutdown the computer. Wait a couple of minutes then restart. If it restarts OK, then immediately repair the hard drive:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

    I need help fixiting the iPad2 email EDIT button used for tagging emails to delete, move, or mark.  Today, it just stopped working and is unresponsive.  The DELETE, MOVE, & MARK icons do not appear and I cannot tag emails.

  • My iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my prob

    Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
    I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
    So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
    Every voice helps

  • Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue! I had only used it for about 1 month!

    Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue. Actually I believe I let the battery die off completely. When I tried charging it again, it never worked.
    I had only used it for about 1 month.
    I bought this in January at Best Buy, and still have the receipt. I was on long business trip and just got back. I can't get the 90 day customer service. How can I get this returned to Black Berry, they won't allow me to contact them without providing my credit card for incidence based service.
    Please help! Thanks.

    do any LED color happen when you plug it in?
    if only RED, then pug in until red goes out, wait 6 seconds and plug in again.
    repeat 3 times and wait to see if 5 green flashes while plugged in
    after 5 flahes, leave it plugged in for 90 minutes and it should boot up. if not hold power button down for 20 seconds and try again.
    You have 1 year warranty, choose option other when calling in and not phone support. This is confusing I  know.
