There is a supplied form on the Developer/2000 CD called navigator.fmb

This has a procedure in it that only requires a tree walk statement for your data, and then it will provide a collapsible and expandable tree just like the OCX's.

In Developer 6 the tree will be a native control.

You can use any TreeView .OCX in Forms 5, but it's not easy!

Use Microsoft Tree View ActiveX Control Version 5.0 from Visual Basic CD
for example.

I think you have one in your Developer/2000 2.1 CD-ROM (.OCX from ProtoView).
You can also use one from Oracle Power Objects CD-ROM (.OCX from Oracle)...

I hope this helps.
