Forms setting Package Vars ?

I have a forms 4.5 app that has an attached lib, the lib is a package ( body and spec). There are a number of variable on the speck side that get populated with an init package proc. That works fine.

I am trying to update these variables with data generated from the form side. I have tried the following methods with no luck:

1. COPY('block.item','package_name.variable'); -- no update
2. package_name.variable := :item; -- no update

If anyone can point out what I am doing wrong I would be very greatful. I have thought about creating a procedure that I pass the forms side data ie update_package(var_name,....) and have the package then set the package variables, but if there is an easier way I would live to hear about it.

Thanks All,
