Re: how call a form (HELP)

Hi Alexander,

IMHO it's the validation and navigation - mechanism of Forms. Call_Form ensures that the programm will come back after calling the form and go through the triggers (etc) that have to follow when-validate-item (e.g. post_item or others, don't know the exact sequence of executing all triggers - can be found somewhere in the online-help of forms). With open_form or new_form this triggers wouldn't be executed.
That just a guess
