Re: Multiple Forms (OPEN_FORM vs. CALL_FORM)

HI Dan,

We have used OPEN_FORM with the "session" option quite effectively. Each form opened via OPEN_FORM with this option is a separate transaction.  This allows FORM B in your example to commit its change independently of FORM A. With regard to using CALL_FORM, I think the form status must be 'CHANGED' in FORM A for it to affect the ability of FORM B to commit.

We use CALL_FORM primarily for "drilling-down" to a related record. We pass some parameters from FORM A to FORM B and automatically query the related data. We prevent navigation via CALL_FORM when the form status is CHANGED.
