Hi everyone,

I hv problems with the open_form and call_form.Let say i hv 2 forms(form1 and form2).From form1 i will press a button to open form2.And then the value in the text item in form2 will be pass back to form1 using parameter.Suppose when i press on the OK button on form2,the value should be passed to form1 and close the form2.My problem is, the value is not passed to the calling form(form1),instead the value is passed to a new form1.

So,does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Please help....

Tq!

Use a call_form to Form 2 instead of open_form. And to get back to Form 1, just exit from Form 2.

Someone else can help here but if a parameter is used in the first call, and a new value is put into it by the called form, does that parameter value get updayed in the calling form?

Use a :global or a database package specification item (assuming you are using single session).
