Ah. We don't use this particular corner of the Oracle products... Sorry. I'm not even sure what you mean about rowids - I think if we are doing the sort of thing you say we refetch the record based on the primary key values we are holding in the form fields or host variables already - or have I got the wrong end of the stick? I'm not a developer myself.
