When I compile and run a form it should show the first record from a table in the text-fields but all the fields are empty. How do i get the data from my table to show in the fields in the block?

If you are using db items... when-new-form-instance - execute_query;

or if stand alone items...

when-new-form-instance-
select ... into :form_item from ... where ...

or you could also change the "default_where", and then execute, which will populate the block with your dynamic values.

Hi
You can use
if your block is database block,(inside when-new-form-instance trigger)
set_item_property(block_name,default_where,place your where condition here enclosed within single quotes)
execute_query;
set_item_property(block_name,default_where,'');
else
u can use
select col1,col2 into :blockname.text_item1,:blockname.text_item2 from tablename where 'place your where condition'

Regards
Victoria
