Re: LOV_Name in Get_Item_Property

If I'm not mistaken,

LOV_NAME is an ITEM property
and can be used with SET_ITEM_PROPERTY
and GET_ITEM_PROPERTY

You can do a search on LOV_NAME
in the Forms On-line help (using Find box) and yopu will be displayed
three topics

1. Attaching an LOV Programatically at Runtime
2. Reserved Words
3. SET_ITEM_PROPERTY
