Hey!
I want to know if you can build dynamic datablocks in Forms?
I have a Tree item in my application, which shows all tables i have in my Database
when i select a Table i want to see the content of the table...and edit them...and so on
The problem is, that i don't know the datablock before?
Can somebody help me please!!!

yes ... but its a pain (search this forum for 'pain').
I suggest that you create EITHER a form which displays your 'table of tables' and when you select a 'row' you call another form for working on that table OR you have a block/canvas for each table in this one form and do a go_block to go to that table/canvas.
PLEASE ... Oracle Forms is a business product for doing real work. Different fields have to be handled differently. In business, there are business rules for each field and for how a field relates to fields in other tables. A generic "edit any field" form would not handle these business rules and inter-relationships.
