Hallow partners
please assist me in the following problem.
am using oracle forms 6i on windows 2003 server.

I have two tables Loan and deduction

Loan(
loan_number number(5)unique not null,
loan_name varchar(15)not null,
loan_type varchar(15)not null,
actual_amount number(10)not null,
taken_date date not null,
loan_purpose varchar (30)not null
)
/
deduction(
loan_number number(5)unique not null,
paid_amount number(10)not null,
transaction_date date not null
)
/
Both have loan_number columns as the primary key.

I created two separate forms using loan table and Deduction table.

Also according to requirement, when commiting in the loan form ,if 'loan_purpose' is 'PERSONAL' THEN deduction form SHOULD BE OPENED.

I MANAGED TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE .

WHAT I WANT IS when deduction form pops up, it should have a matching loan_number as in loan form
What shall I do to achieve this???.

please assist.

You could set a GLOBAL variable and then use that in the second form in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE.

Use of global variables is described in Online Forms Help System. Take a look.
