Oracle Forms

Hi forum members,

is it possible to set the value of a textfield when a form is in query mode?

In our form you can enter query mode with F7 and execute the query with F8.
When you go back to query mode with F7 and then press F7 again, the search criteria of the past query appears.

Now in our form there is an alternativ search, that can be executed in query mode with F9. A different search canvas appears then with a more detailed search.
When I go back from that canvas to the initial canvas, change to query mode with F7 and try to get the last search criteria with F7, not the last search criteria (from F9 search) appears, but the first one (F8 search).

I have tried to copy the search value into an invisible textfield and then copy it back to the search field when F7 is pressed after the alternative search canvas was closed.
Instead of appearing in the search field, a new record is created in background.

Is there any other way to set the value of a textfield in query mode?

Thanks,
Marco
