My form is displaying say some 50 records.user needs to select any 1 record amongst all available values.The selected record should get highlighted.I tried to use go_record(record_no),but its not working.Even i tried to use :system.cursor_record to obtain the record number and then called go_record.But still its not working.

If you need to highlight a row, use visual attribute.
1. create a visual attribute
2. Set_Block_Property(<block_name>, Current_Record_Attribute,<visual attribute name>);

user needs to select any 1 record amongst all available values (...) I tried to use go_record(record_no) ...

How does user do that? Does he/she types record number, presses <Enter> (or some button) and expects Forms to navigate to that particular record? Or is it something different?

As of record highlighting, you might also check use of SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY (which is then to be used for every item in a record).

OK then, user will already be in that record. All you have to do is to highlight it.

What piece of code did you manage to write (using information you already got in this thread)?
