Hi Cecil,

I would suggest two books to you. The more basic is Learning Forms 4.5 by Steve Edelstein. This book is a step-by-step tutorial which takes you through learning the Forms 4.5 tool to build a Master-detail form. The second book is Developing Oracle Forms by Lulushi. This book tells what every widget on the Forms 4.5 designer does and how to make them all work together. It gives lots of tips and tricks for using Forms 4.5 and is easily read and absorbed. These are the only two books that are strictly written about Forms 4.5 that I am aware of.

You can get both of these books at a discount by visiting The Primary Key, a virtual database bookstore, at www.This.Is/keybooks.

Take a look!
