Are you using .plx's ?

If you are then you should note that in debug mode - only the .pll is used and NOT the .plx

In Forms 5.0:
At startup (WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE) I try to set some values into
global variables.
  default_value('N','global.my_var');

The problem is, when I run the form in Debug mode and steps thrugh the
code lines, the value are set, but when I run it in a normal mode the
variable is not set. It seems that Forms just ignores the statement.
The error I get when I try to use the variable is: "Vaialble
global.my_var does not exists."

Why ?

In Visual Basic there are a command Do Events, thats allow windows to
catch up.. Does anyone knows if Forms has a similar function-call ?

Has anyone else had this problem ?
