SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA with OPEN_FORM (forms 5.0)

My environment is developer 2000 v2.1 (forms builder 5.0.6.8.0) on windows nt.

The application is based on the open_form technique.

I modify the open_form to use the new global library. Here is the documentation about this.

  Global libraries can be shared across open forms. A single copy of the PL/SQL library is stored in memory and is accessible by all forms.   Global libraries save memory, improves performance, and provides a mechanism for easy passing of array structures across forms.

We test with 10 users and each user open 10 forms. With and without the SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA used with OPEN_FORM, the memory used is the same.

Also, with a windows NT tools, I verify the handle of the library (.plx). Example: I have 3 forms with a library attach on each (a.plx), I have 3 handle for a.plx, one for each form.

If you have good experience with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA, can you help me ?

Thanks a lot.
