Forms allows you to create a base-table block assigned to a table that does not exist at compile-time. If you want to assure that the table exists, add some pl/sql code in a trigger or procedure, something like this:

  DECLARE CURSOR C IS SELECT COL1 FROM MY_TABLE;   BEGIN NULL; END; The trigger or procedure will not compile if MY_TABLE does not exist.
