Re: FORMS 4.5 Question

From the Oracle Forms4.5 online help system :

  When a COMMIT is initiated in any form, Oracle Forms does validation and commit
  processing for each open form that shares the same session as that form.   Forms are processed in the sequence defined by the order in which they were
  opened, starting with the form that initiated the COMMIT. If an error occurs
  during commit processing, the input focus is returned to the form that   initiated the COMMIT.

So first message frm-40400 occurs at the bottom of the screen, and then message frm-40405 pops up, since there's no place left at the bottom of the screen.
There's more documentation on creating multiple-form applications in the online help file, which probably will help you to solve your problem.
