I have just recently begun using Forms 6 and I have successfully created simple single-window applications. However, my project requirements are a bit more demanding.

After signing the user onto the database, I would like to bring up an empty application window and allow the user to use the classic menu selections File->Open->PickFromMyListOfWindows to open their windows of choice.

Thus far, I have been unable to:

  1. Open just the application - for some reason, one of my windows ALWAYS opens with the application. Is there some property that I need to remove to prevent this?
  2. Open a new window from the menu - when I select any of my window-opening options, I get the following error: FRM-10242: Cannot call linked in Forms from Form Builder.

The online help really offers no explanation about what I am doing incorrectly. It says, "The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder. Action: Notify your DBA."

Of course, when I asked my DBA and he said this was an application issue and he could offer no help.

I have set all of my window styles to: document and Modal is set to: No
and Hide on Exit is set to: No

Does anyone know the answers to my two problems? Please help.
