1> To display items from two tables, you create the block based on one table, and in a post-query trigger, retrieve the matching items from the second table. You can only update the items from the first table using this method unless you do some special coding.
Or you can create a view based on both tables and use that for your block's base-table. With this method, you can't update anything.
2> I assume you want to do this within a running form (and not during forms design-time). I don't quite understand the question, since 'describe table_A' isn't really a query.
If you want to access any table based on its columns in a running form, it can be done, but not easily. Just check out QA from my web site.
