Query When Forms App Starts

[Quoted] I want to include a SQL statement in the beginning of my FORMS app that will select the user's role from USER_ROLE_PRIVS, and store it in a global variable. I can then use this variable throughout my app to selectively enable/disable various features and functions. I tried to put it in the PRE-FORM trigger, but it wouldn't compile. Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA
Ed Jennings
