Hi Shawn, I have the following table definition in my dbforms-config.xml configuration file that I generated through DEVGUI.
<table name="TEST"> <field name="TEST_ID" fieldType="varchar2" size="10" isKey="true"/> <field name="TEST_CD" fieldType="varchar2" size="1" isKey="true"/> <field name="ADD_ID" fieldType="varchar2" size="30"/> <field name="ADD_TMSTMP" fieldType="timestamp(6)" size="11"/> <field name="UPD_ID" fieldType="varchar2" size="30"/> <field name="UPD_TMSTMP" fieldType="timestamp(6)" size="11"/> <!-- add "granted-privileges" element for security constraints --> </table> I tried to define fieldType="timestamp", did not do anything. Still I get the message in the "ADD_TMSTMP" and "UPD_TMSTMP" fields: *** error - fieldtype timestamp(6) is currently not supported. please send an e-mail to jdbforms- [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** I want to mention that timestamp(6) is a new datatype available in Oracle9i (not supported in Oracle 8i). The format includes year, month, day, hour, minute, and seconds (ex: 9/10/2004 12:36:07.000 PM). Does this information help? Let me know if you need any details.

[or is that what you have and the error message is appending the (6)] timestamp works fine for me, so I think you should be able to use it too. sorry shoulda mentioned it before. depending on what the exact format of timestamp(6) is, you may want to see the UsersGuide Chapter on Internationalization and i18n Support ________________________________________________________________________ section -- Setting the Pattern Attribute -- Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
