Hi, I set the failed_login_attemt as 5 in user profile like below

-- Create profile 
create profile COMM_USER limit
  failed_login_attempts 5
  password_life_time 30
  password_reuse_time 360
  password_reuse_max unlimited
  password_lock_time unlimited
  password_grace_time 15
  password_verify_function SF_PWD_VER;
-- Add users to profile 
alter user cas profile NOPASS_USER;


However, i would like to lock an user account after 3 consecutive unsuccessful login. Here is my code in procedure..
Procedure invalid_logon Is
ddl_statement varchar2(200);
BEGIN
.....
.....
.....
 	If :global.attempt_indicator='N' and :global.attempt_counter=0 THEN
  		display_invalid(:global.msg_cannot_logon);
  		:global.attempt_indicator:='Y'; 
  		:global.attempt_counter:=1;
  		raise form_trigger_failure;
  	Elsif :global.attempt_indicator='Y' and :global.attempt_counter=1 THEN
  		display_invalid(:global.msg_max_logon_attempt);
  		:global.attempt_indicator:='Y'; 
  		:global.attempt_counter:=2;
  		raise form_trigger_failure;  		
  	Elsif :global.attempt_indicator='Y' and :global.attempt_counter=2 THEN
  		ddl_statement := 'alter user '||upper(:bk_control.user)||' account lock';
  		Forms_DDL(ddl_statement);
   		IF NOT Form_Success THEN
  		   message(Dbms_Error_Code);
  		ELSE
  		   message('Lock Succeeded! ');
  		END IF;	  		
  		display_invalid(:global.tmessages_075);
  		:global.attempt_indicator:='N';
  		:global.attempt_counter:=0;
  		raise form_trigger_failure;  
	End If;
....
....
....
END


the Forms_DLL() function can execute successfully, but the user account is still not locked at the 3rd attempt, when i check the database. Anyone can help please? FYI, i am using the Form Builder ver6.

Thanks

I missed out something which is no connection to the database.

Because that is a logon form, and when a user failed to login at 3 consecutive attempts, the user will be locked. Forms_DLL will execute 'alter user account lock' DDL statement, however, since the user fails to make connection to the database, system can not update the data into database, as there is no connection. So what i do is to write a procedure which temporarily logon as sysdba and logout the system after executing the DDL statement.

Hope you guys understand and sorry for my english
