[Description how the changes in a referenced form do not appear in the referencing form deleted]
If you make changes in a referenced form, I'd strongly advise that you do so at a time when none of the forms that reference that form are open in the designer. Let me try to make that clearer: if you have form A, which is referenced by forms B and C, any changes made in form A while either form B or C is open in the designer will not be visible in the open form. Failing to do so can cause unpredictable behavior.
The current workaround is to close and re-open the referencing form (Form B or C, in the above example).
This is a known limitation of the product. (The actual problem is that referencing information is only read at the time the referencing form is opened.) There are plans to address this in a future version of Forms.
