first, you need to read the manual...
second, you need to create a base table block in the navigator..this relates directly to a table in your database.
third, oracle has default function keys driving off these base table blocks which includes a query option...
fourth, if this is undesirable, create a button as a control item(not related to database column) and under its node in navigator, create a trigger called when-button-pressed...inside this trigger code..use ORACLE FORMS built-in macros to do whatever you want..in this case ..ENTER_QUERY Received on Wed Jun 05 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
