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.

Thanks for your help!

I don' use Oracle, so um

what if you handwrite in timestamp instead of timestamp(6)?  [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
