Sorry - can't help you, I only have Forms 6 installed.

However, it's possible to create a Forms 4.5 Form without writing a single line of code. This Form will update/insert/delete as you want.

(this is from memory, so I may have got a few things wrong).

0. Decide which table you want to base the Form on. On of the Scott/Tiger tables (Dept, Emp etc) would be good.

1.  Open up Forms 4.5.
2.  Log on to the database (use the connect option on the File menu).
3.  Create a new Forms module using the File menu options
4.  The new FOrm (called a module) will appear in the Hierarchical navigator

tree.
5. You will see a node entitled 'Block', click on this, and then click on the green plus sign in the toolbar.
6. This opens up a litte wizard thing. Follow the instructions. Do choose to have the buttons appear when you are given the option. 7. When you've finished, choos File | Run from the menu to run your form. It should work!
