I think that Forms is a wrong tool to do that. You can't (significantly) change a form layout during runtime. Yes, you can hide items, enable/disable them, but you can not create a whole new layout - which is what you want. For example, if someone chooses DEPT table, you'd create DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC items. If he then chooses EMP table, you'd create EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, SAL, ... items - well, that's not possible (at least, as far as I can tell).
