I have a form which is used only for doing database searches. I would like this form to start in "ENTER QUERY" mode so the user does not have to hit his/her ENTER-QUERY key. I simply set a KEY-STARTUP trigger at the form level to enter_query.

The user now enters the search specifications in the database fields and presses the EXECUTE-QUERY key. Now, if the user presses their NEXT/PREVIOUS BLOCK keys, the form displays no records until the EXECUTE-QUERY key is pressed again.

I have looked at the looked at the default procedures SQL*Forms has created and the query_XXX_details procedure is calling execute_query.

Should I try to accomplish the above another way, or is their something I am missing right now to finish this procedure?
