LOV Display - "Do you want to save changes?"

Question

Hello,
I setup and simple LOV with just a few fields. When the user enters runs the form they can click on a button "View List", then the LOV displays nicely. They can choose a record from the list and it displays just fine in my form.
The problem is that when they click on the "View List" button again, then chose a differnent record, I keep getting the message "Do you want to save the changes you have made?". Even when you say "NO" it doesn't even bring up the record that I clicked on.
My "View List" whe-pressed trigger looks like this:
IF Show_lov('LOV_NEWSLETTER') THEN     
     execute_query;
END IF;
Do I need to clear the form or something like that ?
Please help,
Bob

Hi Bob,
the reason is your execute_query statement in the trigger. The user picks up a value out of the LOV, the record get marked for insert/update inside forms. The next time the user picks up a value, forms have to ask for saving the changes because you wan't to progress a execute_query against the same table again. Why do you use execute_query after showing the LOV ?
