Forms4.5 question: Displaying data

[Quoted] [Quoted] We have a standard that when doing a SHOW/DISPLAY of data (as opposed to an [Quoted] [Quoted] UPDATE) we protect ALL fields. But we're finding that is not so easy to do [Quoted] in FORMS4.5 since you have to have atleast 1 updateable field in a block [Quoted] [Quoted] before you can say go_block ... to execute_query. I've looked in the manuals and have been unable to find a way to say execute_query(blockA) rather than having to say go_block('blockA'); execute_query;

I have thought of making an updateable field that has no data in it and that is the same color as my canvas -- thus, kinda like an invisible field. Then I could go to that and execute_query. But I wondered if there was a better method.

Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, how were you able to work around it?

Please send replies to powell_at_clemson.edu. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
