Eric,
    I also had this same problem....got some good answers from the
newsgroup....

For Forms 5.0, use Set_Item_Instance_Property( )

For Forms 4.5, use Set_Item_Property( ) in the Pre_Record trigger for that
block (work around), for example:

    Pre_Record:
        IF (criteria met) THEN
            Set_Item_Property('block.item', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);

        ELSE
            Set_Item_Property('block.item', UPDATE_ALLOWED,
PROPERTY_FALSE);
        END IF;

Hope this helps,
Lisa
