Mark,
you are right. You can build up the request from some values, calculate something and set other values in the form, disable/enable form fields etc. All depends what kind of functionality you want. E.g. we use this approach for making relations between records similar to popup LOVs, but more powerful - user can relate the form with records from reports using their parameters and also more values can be transfered to the form.
If you have specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.
