Can one populate a POPLIST from a query in Forms 4.0? Newbie help required!

Hi,




I am fairly new to Oracle Forms V4.0.  I want to populate a Pop-List
from the query;


i.e.  	SELECT name
	FROM middlenames
      	ORDER by prescedence






I would have thought that this was a fairly standard thing to do,
but reading the Forms manuals (p 7-31), it describes entering
(hard coded) values, but not populating the list from a query.



I have a Form displaying user details, and want the poplist for
peoples middle names, so that their first middle name is diplayed,
and any other middle names are displayed (in order) when the user
presses the pop-list button so the Names are listed thus;


			James  []
			Arthur
			Smith




Can anyone help?




Richard
