RE: What do you mean by a block in forms4.0?
Canvases serve as physical containers of items. Blocks on the other hand serve as logical containers of items. There are two types of blocks: basetable blocks and non-base-table blocks. Sometimes you may see base-table blocks referred to as data blocks and non-base-table referred to as control blocks. All blocks whether they are base-table or non-base-table blocks are regarded as logical because they do not have physical properties like X Position Y Position Height Width and so on. They serve a purely functional purpose in that they allow you to group items without regard to physical location. Therefore you can easily perform programmatic operations on a block no matter where the items in the block are physically positioned.
