 Hi all

I am trying to get grips with forms 5.0 and therefore doing some examples from albert lulushi book

I am stuck on a simple problems

I got three window.. customer , movie and rental

when I start the application I get the customer screen which has push button which call the other windows rental and movie

the code for the when button pressed tigger is Open_window('MOVIE') which call the following procedure

PROCEDURE Open_Window (window_name VARCHAR2) IS

  window_id		WINDOW;
  Window_Not_Found	EXCEPTION;

BEGIN
  window_id := FIND_WINDOW(window_name);   IF ID_NULL(window_id) THEN
    RAISE Window_Not_Found;
  END IF;   SHOW_WINDOW(window_id);

EXCEPTION
  WHEN Window_Not_Found THEN
    MESSAGE('Window '||window_name||' does not exist.');     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    MESSAGE('Internal error occurred in Open_Window.');     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END Open_Window;

The problem is that I never lose focus on the customer window the movie window appears behing the customer window. It wont even close if I do the following close_window ('Customer')

the code is

PROCEDURE Close_Window (window_name VARCHAR2) IS

  window_id		WINDOW;
  Window_Not_Found	EXCEPTION;

BEGIN
  window_id := FIND_WINDOW(window_name);   IF ID_NULL(window_id) THEN
    RAISE Window_Not_Found;
  END IF;   HIDE_WINDOW(window_id);

EXCEPTION
  WHEN Window_Not_Found THEN
    MESSAGE('Window '||window_name||' does not exist.');     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    MESSAGE('Internal error occurred in Open_Window.');     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END Close_Window;

what am I doing wrong , why Cant it place the focus on the movie window and place the customer window behing the movie window

any help apprecitaed
