Trick to create keyboard shortcut for any program in our computer.....

Shortcuts are a fast and simple way to launch computer applications. Like for opening "Task manager", we use Alt+Ctrl+Del , for opening "My Computer" we use Windows+E. We all have different set of programs that we use frequently.
By using this method we can create our own shortcuts for any computer application we need. We don't need any third party software to create these shortcuts for us. We can use this method in Windows XP , Vista and Windows 7.

This is the method we can use.
  • Click on the Start button and select the program that you need to create shortcut
    (In this case it's Photoshop) 
  • Then right click on the program and click on the properties.
  • Select the Shortcut tab in properties window.
  • In the shortcut key field type any key that you want to use as a shortcut.(We can use P for Photoshop)
  • Now your custom shortcut this program will be Ctrl+Alt+key. In our case its (Ctrl+Alt+P).
  • Then press Apply button and then press OK button to save the changes.
  • Now we can use our custom shortcut to lunch Photoshop application.
We can create as many shortcuts for as many programs as we want.

Oracle Forms - When you get "FRM-40401"message when saving...

Hi all,



Recently i had an issue with saving new data to database via my oracle form. When i enter new records via form and press save button , occurs "FRM-40401: No changes to save" message. New records were not in database. To handle this i used "STANDARD.COMMIT" instead of using "COMMIT_FORM".

The COMMIT (COMMIT_FORM) statement analyses blocks that exist in a form. If you change a table independently from the declared blocks, then the form doesn't think that it has any changes to save. It usually leads to the "FRM-40401: No changes to save" message.

But, if you use STANDARD.COMMIT, it will bypass any checking and do exactly what you have asked - commit, now!

It is also suggested to use 'standard.commit' (NOT 'commit') in procedures that reside in a form
