It depends, somewhat, on how you got to the second form.

I would always suggest using a call_form so that the user can't 'accidently' go back to the first form and try to continue processing while the second form is still open.

Read the section on call_form so you can decide whether you want the user to be able to see the first form, etc.

In the second form, to return to the first form, either use the default task bar or in your own trigger just do an 'exit_form'. If you have outstanding changes in the form you are exiting, Oracle will ask the user whether they wish to save their changes or not.
