It turns out the database user aradmin had somehow lost the "crete view" privilege during migration from Oracle 9i to 10g. All is fine after our DBA added the privilege to aradmin. The breakthrough came when I turned on the SQL logging again and saved the form after changing name of an unused field. The log finally showed this:CREATE VIEW HPD_HelpDesk (Case_ID_,Submitted_By,...) AS SELECTT166.C1,C2,...17:28:00.9800 */*** ERROR *** ORA-01031: insufficient privileges Not sure why I couldn't locate similar error earlier. I plead temporary blindness. Thanks Jason, Joe for your responses. --- On Sun, 10/17/10, Jason Miller <[email protected]> wrote:

I have seen this happen many times when somebody adds a field called 'function'.
