aamir,

Please, please use FULL punctuation with full-stops and capitals for the first word of each sentence. Your posts are very hard to read.

Do not use the Post-Change trigger, it is an old one and will be discontinued, use the When-Validate-Item and When-Validate-Record triggers.

Concerning LOVs, in your control block, use them to populate more than one field at a time, that is, if you use the LOV on 'deptno' get the LOV to populate 'deptno' and 'deptname', and on 'deptname' get the LOV to populate 'deptno' as well as 'deptname'.

In you data block, use Post-Query to populate 'deptname' from 'deptno' during retrieval, and use a When-Validate-Item trigger on 'deptno' to populate 'deptname', and on 'deptname' (which I am assuming is not stored in the database) you have a Key-Listval trigger which does a "go_item(:blk.deptno); list_values; go_item(:blk.deptname);" To the user it looks as though they never left the 'name' field.
