Re: Show the contents of a file in Forms 4.5

I know this a bit after the fact, so you probably have the answer, but as I didn't see any response...

Use the TEXT_IO package in forms, it's pretty basic, but it does get you there with some practice.

What you've read, you can then insert into a non DB field/item and view it with the text editor.
