Try a WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger. Provided the window name you use is not the FORMS default window name (Root_Window ?), then that trigger will fire whenever you return to a form from another.

We regularly have one form with a master-detail relationship, where a 'DETAIL' button lets you go to a form with more data about the detail record. Any updates on this need to be reflected by re-querying on return to the calling form, and the above is the method we use.
