A control block is a block that does not have a relationship to a database table. Control blocks can contain items of any type (buttons, text items, check boxes, etc.), however, regardless of item type, all of the items in a control block are control items--that is, items that do not correspond to columns in a database table. To create a control block: 1. Select Tools->New Block. Or, in the Object Navigator, position the cursor on or within the Blocks node and choose Navigator->Create. The New Block window appears. 2. Leave the Base Table option set to to indicate that you are creating a control block, not a base table block. 3. In the Block Name field, enter a name for the block. 4. (Optional) Set the Sequence ID option to specify the position of the new block in the default block navigation sequence. Because this is a control block, none of the other options in the New Block window apply. 5. Choose OK to create the control block. A new control block does not yet contain any items. You can create items in an existing block in the Object Navigator or in the Layout Editor
