Re: Oracle Forms question... Canvas questions

To be honest I never worked with oracle forms 4.5. However I had faced the similar problem in powerbuilder. I used scrolledtorow(row no) function to scroll to the particular row. There is a similar function in VC++ which is ensurevisible() if i remember. May be you should find similar function in forms 4.5
