Tabular Form Populate from a query of other tables

Question

I am sure this can be done but we are especially new to Master-Detail relationships in Apex and to Tabular Forms (updateable reports).
We are trying to populate a tabular form (updateable report) with values from a query. The user is simply going to click yes/no per row and then we need to insert those rows into a table..
I tried following the logic of creating a Master-Detail relationship, and noticed the AddRow Button and the process to add rows to the Tabular Form. I also noticed several MRUUpdate processes that fire to update existing rows.. I am assuming that I need to first add the number of rows that the query which populates the tabular form pulls in and then update the rows after that. I tiried doing a count and storing the value in a Page Text Field/Hidden Field and then in the AddRows to the MRU I put the field name with & and . around it. That did not work (it could not add rows and came up with an ora-6502 error) , I then tried to put a : in front of it and that failed too.
Any suggestions on how to proceed.
Thank you in Advance,

Here is the issue quickly... I am trying to create a Master/Detail Screen. The master record always inserts, the details are populated from a query into a tabular form/updateable report and always inserts. The user will check certain details and the checked details will be marked as Y, unchecked marked as N and saved to the detail table. And tried to do some research into the issue..
Possible Solutions I found where: 1) http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:170:2680852007789839::NO:::&success_msg=0%20Row(s)%20Updated%2C%202%20Row(s)%20Inserted.%2F838A7BC908323107AD95920713AFD5FD%2F and 2) http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/checkboxes-in-tabular-forms-the-easy-way/
I went with 1).. but modified the code and simplified it since I always know that I should be inserting..

I created an Anonymous PL/SQL Block Process called InsertMRU which fires right when a SUBMIT button is pressed after the Master information is inserted, the code for it is...
DECLARE
v_insertcount NUMBER := 0;
v_updatecount NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
:p200_detail_update := apex_application.g_f02.COUNT;
FOR i IN 1 .. :P200_NUCOUNT -- Number of records pulled in from query.
LOOP
INSERT INTO bd45vbjbsel
(cdselected,
cdbill,
nuxrbill,
natitle,
cdmember,
decriteria
VALUES (apex_application.g_f01 (i) -- cdselected
apex_application.g_f02 (i) -- cdbill
apex_application.g_f03 (i) -- nuxrbill
apex_application.g_f04 (i) -- natitle
apex_application.g_f05 (i) -- cdmember
apex_application.g_f05 (i) -- decriteria
commit;
v_insertcount := v_insertcount + 1;
END LOOP;
:p200_detail_insert := v_insertcount;
END;
I am getting an ORA-01403 No Data Found error when submitting..
Even though I am manually inserting the records do I still need to store the MD5checksum?
Could there be another reason why I am getting a no data found on submit?
Thank you again in advance...
