Re: Forms 4.5 Question

Arnold,

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it still doesn't get updated,

I tried both

        select text into :STATUSTEXT from status_text;

and

        select text into :BLOCK3.STATUSTEXT from status_text;

where BLOCK3 is my block.

And neither one works.

Any other clues?

Thanks,
Albert.
