  1. You can assign a block to a canvas and the canvas can be assigned to a window. You first create a window , then create a canvas and assign it to the window. Subsequently you can create a block and assign it to window.
  2. Go_BLOCK(block_name) will take you to the first navigable item in the blck. In case the item happens to be in a window not currently displayed Oracle forms will display the window.
  3. Multiple modules are less resourse expensive and you can at run time selectively load them into memoy. In addition they are easier to code.
  4. Use SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI,Title,Actual Title) in your when-new- form instance trigger
