Hi,

Try looking at SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS, that might be what you are looking for.

No!! This is Oracle Forms not VB!! You don't need to worry about which record has been changed as YOU do not need to write 'insert', 'update', or 'delete' statements. They are all part of the native behaviour of Oracle Forms.

That's why you are using this tool. To save time and remove the need to write pages of code into which your subconscious mind will place bugs to train your conscious mind in how to program.

Just use the wizards provided by Forms and let it do the work for you.
