First, you are very lucky. I almost never read messages that have useless headers
like "URGENT REPLY NEEDED!". Next time please use a header like:

"Forms 4.5 navigation question"

Now to your question:

You probably have something unique in your record, that is why primary keys were
invented. If you really do not have a relational database, then you may be able to
use the rowid (it is automatically fetched when your record is fetched). You can refer to it like any other field. If you are hooked to a non-updatable view
and you really have no unique identifier then you are toast. I wouldn't even know how to do such a thing by hand.

Then you must create a parameter list and pass it to your called form.

For reference, look up
new_form
call_form
open_form

and all the parameter list commands.
