Query from Forms not using Index

Hi, The following query is produced by an Oracle Forms application :

SELECT {multiple_columns)
FROM gg_inbox
WHERE ind_order_id = :1
ORDER BY entered_gg_date DESC;

this query does a full table scan of the table in question when there is an index associated with ind_order_id column. When I run the query manually in SQLPlus like below :

SELECT {multiple_columns)
FROM gg_inbox
WHERE ind_order_id = '111236441'
ORDER BY entered_gg_date DESC;

the index is used and the result comes back instantly. Does anybody know why it is not using the index in the Forms application? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
