There is no need to commit when switching forms unless you want to. The one 'gotcha' is what is called the row flushing problem when you switch containers. This happens even with in the same form. If you want to switch forms and not and not get this 'Row Flushing' error, you would have to make sure that all the required fields are filled in.
