Scroll Bar problem? Oracle 6i

[DaMaineiac]

I have a dynamic form that doesn't fit on the screen so it has scroll bars for left to right and top to bottom navigation. The form updates automatically every minute. My users are complaining that when they scroll to the information they need to use the form updates and jumps to the top again. I need the form to update automatically and often so turning off the update is not an option. Is it possible to allow the form to update but stay in the position the user needs it? I'm using Oracle 6i on a 10g database

It has been a while, and I cannot test this out where I'm working, but have you tried GET_WINDOW_PROPERTY? Prior to doing the update, use GET_WINDOW_PROPERTY to save the x and y coordinates. After the update is complete, use SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY to reset them. Let us know if that works.
